Exam JN0-253 Topic 4 Question 131 Discussion

Actual exam question for Juniper's JN0-253 exam
Question #: 131
Topic #: 4
When a Juniper Mist managed switch is powered on, which event must be completed prior to the Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) process moving forward?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

A DHCP lease must be obtained by the switchbefore the ZTP process proceeds. Juniper documentation clarifies: "Ensure that a DHCP server is reachable. In addition to providing an IP address to the switch, your DHCP server must provide the following information: a default gateway, an NTP server, and a DNS server address..." The initial event in the ZTP workflow is the switch receiving a valid IP address via DHCP. Only after obtaining an address can the switch connect to the Mist cloud and proceed with zero-touch provisioning.
Other requirements, such as user account, NETCONF, or NTP sync, occur later or are handled automatically via cloud policy after onboarding.
