Using the Post-Configuration Script (BMP mode only)
To reload FTOS on a switch using a pre-configuration script, the following conditions must be true:
• BMP must be enabled.
• The post-configuration script can be written in Expect, TCLSH, or ZSH. If the SmartScripts package is
already installed, the post-configuration script can also be written in PERL or Python.
• No restraints are required for the post-configuration script, such as the signature “#/DELL-FORCE10”
that is required for the pre-configuration script.
• The post-configuration script must be configured by the
script post-config command.
• The post-configuration script must be executed after the start-up configuration process required by
BMP has been applied.
• The post-configuration script has the ability to use configuration FTOS CLI commands using the
utility name “F10do”.
Reload using the Auto-execution Script (Normal mode only)
To use the auto-execution script, the following conditions must be true:
• BMP must be disabled.
• The auto-execution script must always be stored in flash://autoexec
• The auto-execution script can be written in Expect, TCLSH, or ZSH. If the SmartScripts package is
already installed, the post-configuration script can also be written in PERL or Python.
• No restraints are required for the auto-execution script, such as the signature “#/DELL-FORCE10”
that is required for the pre-configuration script.
• The auto-execution script has the ability to use configuration FTOS CLI commands using the utility
name “F10do”.
• When the auto-execution script is complete, the start-up configuration is applied depending on the
return status of the script:
• Success - 0: the start-up configuration is applied.
• Failure - non-zero: the start-up configuration is not applied.
