Dell Force10 S4820T S4820T Configuration Guide - Page 256

www.dell.com | support.dell.com The DHCP option codes used are: •6 Domain Name Server IP •66 TFTP Server name •67 Boot filename •150 TFTP server IP address •209 Configuration File Note: The boot file name and configuration file name must be in the correct format. If it is not, the switch will be unable to download the file from the DHCP server, and will behave as if the server could not be reached. The discovery process will continue, despite configured time-out, until the stop jump-start command is given. URL Examples Description ##### FTOS image option bootfile-name "ftp://user:passwd@myserver/ FTOS-SE-8.3.10.1.bin"; FTP URL with hostname (requires DNS) option bootfile-name "http://10.20.4.1/FTOS-SE-8.3.10.1.bin"; HTTP URL with IP address option bootfile-name "tftp://10.20.4.1/ FTOS-SE-8.3.10.1.bin"; TFTP URL with IP address option bootfile-name "flash://FTOS-SE-8.3.10.1.bin"; Flash path relative to /f10/flash directory ##### Configuration file could be given in the following way option config-file "ftp://user:[email protected]//home/user/ FTP URL with IP address S4810-1.conf"; option config-file "http://myserver/S4810-1.conf"; HTTP URL with hostname (requires DNS) option config-file "tftp://10.10.4.1/S4810-1.conf"; TFTP URL with IP address option config-file "flash://S4810-1.conf"; Flash path relative to /f10/flash directory MAC-Based IP assignment One way to use the BMP mode most efficiently is to configure the DHCP server to assign a fixed IP address, FTOS image, and configuration file based on the switch's MAC address. When this is done, the same IP address is assigned to the switch even on repetitive reloads and the same configuration file will be retrieved when using the DNS server or the network-config file to determine the hostname. The assigned IP address is only used to retrieve the files from the file server. It is discarded after the files are retrieved. 256 | Bare Metal Provisioning 2.0
