Configuration prerequisites
Before configuring Puppet on the device, complete the following tasks on the device:
Enable NETCONF over SSH. The Puppet master sends configuration information to Puppet agents through NETCONF over SSH connections. For information about NETCONF over SSH, see "Configuring NETCONF."
Configure SSH login. Puppet agents communicate with the Puppet master through SSH. For information about SSH login, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
For successful communication, the Puppet master and agents must use the same system time. You can manually set the same system time for the Puppet master and agents, or configure them to use a time synchronization protocol such as NTP. For more information, see device management in Fundamentals Configuration Guide and "Configuring NTP."
