Ah I slightly misunderstood but actually you can install via ZTP using the command I mentioned: DHCP can return an option which contains a HTTP URL to a bash or python script, the router will get that an execute it. That script can then do whatever you want, i.e. download an image file, a config file, and run the commands to apply/install the image and apply the config.


Cheers,
James.
