Bare Metal Provisioning 2.0 (BMP 2.0) | 239
Update the following parameters on the appropriate DHCP server.
• Boot File Name: The FTOS image to be loaded on the system. The boot file name is expected to use
option 67 or the boot filename in the BOOTP payload of the DHCP offer. If both are specified, option
67 will be used.
• Configuration File Name: The configurations to be applied to the system. The configuration file name
is expected to use option 209.
• File Server Address: The server where the Image and Configurations file are placed. The address is
assumed to be a TFTP address unless it is given as a URL. The system supports TFTP, HTTP, and FTP
protocols, as well as files stored in Flash.
• Domain Name Server: (Optional.) The DNS server to be contacted to resolve the hostname.
• IP Address: Dynamic IP address for the system. This is used only for file transfers.
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
DHCP Retry Mechanism
BMP will request a different DHCP offer in the following scenarios:
• If the command
reload-type config-download is enabled, the DHCP offer specifies both the boot
image and the configuration file, and either download is successful, BMP will not request another
DHCP offer.
• If the offer contains only a boot image that cannot be downloaded, BMP will request another DHCP
offer.
• If the command
reload-type config-download is enabled and the configuration file in the offer cannot
be downloaded, BMP will request another DHCP offer.
DHCP server IP Blacklist
If the process does not complete successfully, the DHCP server IP will be blacklisted and the BMP process
will be re-initiated. A DHCP server IP is maintained in the blacklist for ten minutes. If a DHCP offer is
received from the blacklisted DHCP server, the offer will be rejected until the IP is alive in the blacklist (10
minutes).
File Server
Set up an file server and ensure connectivity.
Note: BMP will eventually exit when the timeout occurs.
