Introduction to “n5000_poap_script.7.1.5.N1.1.tcl” Software
The n5000_poap_script.7.1.5.N1.1.tcl is an enhanced Power-On Auto Provisioning (POAP) automation script designed for Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches running NX-OS 7.1(5)N1(1). This Tcl-based tool streamlights zero-touch deployments in enterprise data centers by automating firmware image downloads and configuration restoration during device initialization.
Developed under Cisco’s Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) framework, this version introduces FEX pre-provisioning validation and IPv6 DHCPv6 option 17 support, reducing manual configuration errors by 68% in fabric extender (FEX) deployments. The script is optimized for spine-leaf architectures requiring automated mass deployments of Nexus 5010/5020/5548UP switches.
Key Features and Improvements
This release focuses on deployment reliability and security compliance:
- Extended Protocol Support
- Adds DHCPv6 option 17 parsing for IPv6-only management networks
- Supports SHA-384 hash verification for encrypted TFTP repositories
- FEX Deployment Enhancements
- Validates Fabric Extender models against pre-provisioned configurations during POAP
- Reduces FEX registration time by 22% through optimized image pre-caching
- Security Upgrades
- Implements TLS 1.2 for script integrity verification with Cisco’s Software Repository
- Enforces X.509 certificate validation for HTTPS-based image downloads
- Error Handling Improvements
- Introduces 15 new sanity checks for hardware compatibility diagnostics
- Reduces script timeout thresholds from 300s to 150s for faster failure detection
