Configuring Composer2 using zero touch provisioning

You can access an HPE Synergy Composer2 appliance remotely to perform First Time Setup (FTS). You can provision the HPE Synergy hardware out of the box without physical access to the data center. 

After connecting the frame link topology to the management network, each Composer2 is accessible:
  • Through a DHCP assigned address, if a DHCP server is on the network.

  • Through the IPv6 link-local address.

After FTS is initiated, hardware discovery is performed and you can access the appliance with the address you configured for the appliance.
Before FTS is performed, there are three options to retrieve the IP address assigned to a Composer2:
  • Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server

  • Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP)
  • Maintenance console
