Backplane Virtual Interface
The backplane virtual application interface can be configured automatically using the
Shelf Address (default) or by specifying a static IP address.
Use the following parameters to the
BP_APPL_MODE
variable to define the
configurations for backplane virtual interface.
none - Do not configure the interface
auto - Automatic configuration of the interface
static - Use other parameters to configure the interface
BP_APPL_MODE=auto
– Static Configuration of the Backplane Virtual Interface
If using the
static
parameter to configure the backplane virtual interface, specify
the desired IP addresses and netmask using the following variables:
BP_V_ACT_APPL_IPADDR=
BP_V_STB_APPL_IPADDR=
BP_V_APPL_NETMASK=

The DHCP client configuration file located in
/etc/dhclient.conf
can be
automatically configured with a predetermined DHCP client identifier. This feature can be
enabled by changing the
DHCLIENT_GEN

host statement to be appended at each boot, and the
dhclient.conf
file should not be
a part of the persistent file system in this scenario.
DHCLIENT_GEN=auto

Enabling the DHCP Server
A DHCP server can be started on the out-of-band or backplane interfaces. To enable the
server, specify "yes" to any combination of the following variables:
OOB_DHCP_SERVER=
