Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP) - Config | 41
• File Server Address — the server where the Image and Configurations files are
placed. The address is assumed to be a TFTP address unless it is given as a URL.
The system supports the TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, SFTP, SCP, and FTP protocols, as
well as files stored in Flash.
• Domain Name Server (Optional) — the DNS server contacted to resolve the
host name.
• IP Address — dynamic IP address for the system. Use this IP address only for
file transfers.
The following lists the DHCP option codes.
In the following scenarios, BMP requests a different DHCP offer.
• If the offer contains only a boot image that cannot be downloaded, BMP requests
another DHCP offer.
• If you enable the
reload-type config-scr-download enable command and the
configuration file in the offer cannot be downloaded, BMP requests another
DHCP offer.
DHCP Server IP Blacklist
If the process does not complete successfully, the DHCP server IP is blacklisted and
the BMP process is re-initiated.
A DHCP server IP is maintained in the blacklist for 10 minutes. If a DHCP offer is
received from the blacklisted DHCP server, the offer is rejected until the IP is alive in
the blacklist (10 minutes).

60 Vendor class identifier
61 Class identifier
66 TFTP Server name
67 Boot filename
150 TFTP server IP address

Note: BMP eventually exits when a timeout occurs.
