Configuring the Router  

Arista routers ship from the factory in Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) mode. ZTP configures the router without  

user intervention by downloading a startup configuration file or a boot script from a location specified by a  

DHCP server.  

To manually configure an Arista router, bypass ZTP. The initial configuration provides one username (admin)  

accessible only through the console port because it has no password.  

When bypassing ZTP, access the router by logging in as admin, with no password, through the console port.  

Then you can configure a password for admin and other password-protected usernames.  

The manual configuration procedure described below cancels ZTP mode, logs into the router, assigns  

a password to admin, assigns an IP address to the management port, and defines a default route to a  

network gateway.  

As the router boots without a startup-config file, it displays the following through the console:  

The device is in Zero Touch Provisioning mode and is attempting to  

download the startup-config from a remote system. The device will not  

be fully functional until either a valid startup-config is downloaded  

from a remote system or Zero Touch Provisioning is cancelled. To cancel  

Zero Touch Provisioning, login as admin and type 'zerotouch cancel'  

at the CLI.  

localhost login:  

1. Connect the router to a power source (Cable the Router).  

Note: Arista fixed routers take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to boot completely.  

2. Connect the console port to a PC (Connecting Serial and Management Cables).  

3. Log into the router by typing adminat the login prompt  

localhost login:admin  

4. Cancel ZTP mode by typing zerotouch cancel  

Important: This step initiates the router to reboot.  

localhost>zerotouch cancel  

5. After the router reboots, log into the router again by typing adminat the login prompt.
