Configure Static Management IP Address for Apstra ZTP Server

The Apstra ZTP server attempts to assign an IP address for its eth0 interface via DHCP, by default. You must set a management IP address manually in the following cases:

  • If you're using the Apstra ZTP server as a DHCP server

  • If the Apstra ZTP server did not get an IP address from the DHCP server

If you didn't set the IP address on first boot using the interactive bash script that automatically runs, then you can follow the steps below to do it now.

  1. SSH into the Apstra ZTP server as admin (ssh admin@<apstra-ztp-server-ip> where <apstra-ztp-server-ip> is the IP address of the Apstra ZTP server.)
  2. Edit the /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml file to configure the static management IP address. See example below. (For more information about using netplan, see https://netplan.io/examples)
  3. Apply the change with one of the following methods:

    • Reboot the Apstra ZTP server with the command sudo reboot.

    • Run the command sudo netplan apply.

Next Step: Replace the SSL Certificate for the Apstra ZTP Server GUI.
