CCP Express version 2.7 has added support for Cisco Plug and Play bootstrap configuration. It allows
specifying the Plug and Play Gateway IP address/hostname and an optional image upgrade commands.
After CCP Express is configured, it puts the basic CNS bootstrap connectivity commands on the device, to
enable call home functionality. When the device has CNS bootstrap commands, it will contact the Cisco
Plug and Play gateway and initiate Day1 configuration and optional image download process.

Bootstrap Using Smart Install
This option is mainly applicable to Cisco Switches which support “Smart Install” feature. Typically, Cisco
Switches have a similar configuration that needs to be applied to all switches. With this option, Cisco
Prime Infrastructure acts as a TFTP Server. Cisco Plug and Play deployment Profile can be saved in the
Cisco Prime Infrastructure TFTP directory using Deploy->Add Device->Bootstrap Configuration->TFTP
option. Smart Install enabled Director Cisco Switch configuration specifies Cisco Prime Infrastructure as a
TFTP Server. When Director Switch pulls configuration from the Cisco Prime Infrastructure, which is a
bootstrap configuration, all aggregation switches connected to this Director gets this bootstrap
configuration and will be able to call home to Cisco Prime Infrastructure for further deployment of Day 1
configuration or Image File.

Cisco Plug and Play Applications
As mentioned in the above bootstrapping options, there are various ways to apply bootstrap
configuration to a device. There are standalone Plug and Play deployment applications that can be used
to apply bootstrap configurations. These applications are useful when auto install or any other
configuration to a device. There are standalone Plug and Play deployment applications that can be used
