7 Bare Metal Provisioning Overview Bare metal provisioning (BMP) or jumpstarting improves accessibility to the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module. Bare metal provisioning performs auto configuration using a configuration file and an approved version of the Dell Force10 operating system (FTOS) from a network source. Bare metal provisioning not only allows you to configure a stack with a minimum of effort, but it is also useful for quick configuration of a stand alone system. Bare metal provisioning eases configuration in the following key areas: • Obtaining an IP address, running the configuration, and boot image information from a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server. • Allowing access to the system through an Ethernet management port and data ports with or without DHCP-based dynamic IP address configuration of the user device. This does not stop BMP. • Booting up in Layer 3 mode with interfaces already in No Shutdown mode. Only the management mode will be in No Shutdown mode and have ip address dhcp enabled, Front end ports are in the Shut mode. You can configure the username root password if the configuration file is not received. Note: The MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module supports BMP on the management ports and front end ports. BMP is supported on the 10GbE, 40GbE, and management interfaces. Commands • reload-type • show reload-type • show boot jumpstart Bare Metal Provisioning | 143

Bare Metal Provisioning

Overview

Bare metal provisioning (BMP) or jumpstarting improves accessibility to the

MXL 10/40GbE

Switch IO Module

. Bare metal provisioning performs auto configuration using a configuration file

and an approved version of the Dell Force10 operating system (FTOS) from a network source. Bare

metal provisioning not only allows you to configure a stack with a minimum of effort, but it is also

useful for quick configuration of a stand alone system.

Bare metal provisioning eases configuration in the following key areas:

•

Obtaining an IP address, running the configuration, and boot image information from a dynamic

host configuration protocol (DHCP) server.

•

Allowing access to the system through an Ethernet management port and data ports with or

without DHCP-based dynamic IP address configuration of the user device. This does not stop

BMP.

•

Booting up in Layer 3 mode with interfaces already in No Shutdown mode. Only the management

mode will be in No Shutdown mode and have

ip address dhcp

enabled, Front end ports are in the

Shut mode. You can configure the username root password if the configuration file is not received.

Commands

•

reload-type

•

show reload-type

•

show boot jumpstart

Note:

The

MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module

supports BMP on the management ports

and front end ports. BMP is supported on the 10GbE, 40GbE, and management interfaces.
