Class-Based Configuration
By matching a part of the string from the vendor class identifier option 60 string, the image, configuration
file, or script file is sent in the DHCP offer.
For example:
host dt-maa-z9000-11 {
hardware ethernet 00:01:e8:a9:81:a3;
fixed-address 10.16.151.175;
option tftp-server-address 10.16.151.209;
match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier,0,17) =
"TY=DELLNTW-Z9000 "; {
filename "tftp://10.16.151.209/FTOS-ZB-9.3.0.0.bin";
option configfile "ftp://anvltest:force10@10.16.151.209//
tftpboot/basic-l3-z9k <ftp://10.16.151.209//tftpboot/
basic-l3-z9k> ";
}
match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier,0,17) =
"TY=DELLNTW-s4810 "; {
filename "tftp://10.16.151.209/FTOS-SE-9.3.0.0.bin";
option configfile "ftp://anvltest:force10@13.4.4.4//
tftpboot/basic-l3-across-s6410-s4810_z9k.cfg";
}
}
Option 60 is also called vendor class identifier. It has five fixed fields that have fixed offsets. The fixed
fields are:
• TY — denotes the type of the device
• HW — denotes the version of the box
• SN — denotes the serial number of the device
• ST — denotes the service tag of the device
• OS — refers to the Dell Networking OS version in the device
• US — refers to the user-defined string (a maximum string of 64 characters)
File Server Settings
Set up a file server and ensure connectivity.
To allow file transfers to the switch, configure the file server that holds the boot and configuration files.
The system recognizes HTTP, HTTPS, SFTP, TFTP, FTP, USB, and Flash URLs.
For example:
• tftp://server ip or name/filename
• ftp://user:passwd@serverip or name//mypath/Dell-A.B.C.D.bin
• flash://filename
• http://host[:port]/file-path
• https://[<user:pass>@]host[:port]/file-path
• sftp://user:passwd@server//path/filename
• usbflash://path/filename
When loading the Dell Networking OS image, if the Dell Networking OS image on the server is different
from the image on the local flash, the system downloads the image from the server onto the local flash
