ONIE service discovery ONIE attempts to locate the installer through several discovery methods. To download and run an installer, the ONIE Service Discovery feature follows these steps in order and uses the first successful method found: 1.

Query to the IPv6 link-local neighbors using HTTP for an installer. 3. Discover TFTP-based image from the DHCP server. If none of the ONIE Service Discovery methods are successful, you can disable this using the onie-discovery-stop command.

ONIE service discovery
ONIE attempts to locate the installer through several discovery methods.
To download and run an installer, the ONIE Service Discovery feature follows these steps in order and uses the first successful
method found:
1.
Search locally attached storage devices for one of the ONIE default installer filenames—for example,
onie self update
from the USB.
2.
Query to the IPv6 link-local neighbors using HTTP for an installer.
3.
Discover TFTP-based image from the DHCP server.
If none of the ONIE Service Discovery methods are successful, you can disable this using the
onie-discovery-stop
command.
You can install an operating system manually from HTTP, FTP, or TFTP using the
onie-nos-install <URL>
command.
NOTE:
If you have a recovery USB plugged into your switch, you must remove it before using the
onie-nos-install
command.
The ONIE Install environment uses DHCP to assign an IP address to the management interface—eth0. If that fails, it uses the
default IP address 192.168.3.10/255.255.255.0.
To display the IP address, use the
ifconfig eth0
command, as shown.
ONIE:/ # ifconfig eth0
