What are two requirements for the ZTP provisioning process for a Juniper EX Series switch?

The requirement for a DHCP server during the Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) process for a Juniper EX Series switch is essential because ZTP relies on DHCP to obtain the necessary network configuration and provisioning parameters. When a switch is powered on for the first time, it needs to discover the network it is connected to, and DHCP plays a crucial role in this discovery process. The DHCP server assigns an IP address to the switch, along with other relevant information, such as the location of the provisioning server, which is vital for the switch to download its configuration files and updates.

In the context of ZTP, the server not only provides an IP address but can also direct the switch to a specific URL for its configuration files. This integration simplifies the deployment of network switches in environments where manual configuration would be labor-intensive or impractical.

The other requirements like outbound internet access, static IP configuration, and local server access might play a role in certain configurations or scenarios, but they are not fundamental to the core ZTP process. Specifically, ZTP can be initiated solely through DHCP, making it the indispensable requirement for the provisioning of these switches from the outset.
