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.
