Answer

Network Plug and Play (PnP) is the Cisco DNA Center feature responsible for zero-touch provisioning of new devices.
Network Plug and Play (PnP) provides a unified, secure system for Cisco DNA Center customers to onboard new Cisco routers, switches, and wireless access points with zero-touch provisioning. Unconfigured devices contact Cisco DNA Center automatically using DHCP option 43, DNS, or Cisco Smart Call Home to retrieve configuration files and initial images.
