The MX150 also supports zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), which autoinstalls a software image and device-specific
configuration file when you connect the MX150 and other devices on your network. To use ZTP, you’ll need to configure
settings on a DHCP server. For more information, see Zero Touch Provisioning Using DHCP Options.
