Once receiving the installation mail, you can prepare the scenario, as in Figure 7. Connect your laptop to the device Port 4 and WAN connection plugin to the Port 2, and please make sure the Internet is accessible.
After that, you can find the hyper link in the email, “click here or copy the link to your browser”, click it to start the ZTP process.

Please be aware that before the device going on cloud, you will need to “Reset” it to the factory default state; if not, you will see the message, as shown in Figure 9 and you can see the system LED become blinking green from blinking amber.

The other option is you can use the USB drive to run the ZTP process. There is a configuration file attached in the installation mail. First, please make sure your USB is running on FAT32 and then copy the attached file in the USB root folder.
The same condition, mentioned in the above steps will apply. Make sure you have reset the device before plugging the USB drive to the USG FLEX first, then the registration process will run automatically. If you have used the console/SSH to the device, you can find the “ZTP json file in pen-drive” message, as shown in Figure 11.
