Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP) - Config | 43
For example, on a DHCP3 server, you can configure the assignment of a fixed
MAC-based IP address and configuration file by entering the following lines of
configuration parameters in the dhcpd.conf file on the server:
host S4810 {
hardware ethernet 00:01:e8:81:e2:39;
fixed-address 20.0.0.48;
option configfile "customer.conf";
}
Class-Based Configuration
By matching a part of the string from the vendor class identifier (option 60) string,
the image, configuration file, or the script file can be 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";
}
}
The option 60 is also called as vendor class identifier. It has five fixed fields and all
the fixed fields have fixed offsets. The fixed fields are as follows:
• 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 (can be a string of 64 characters)
