address is not present in the start-up configuration file, no IP address is assigned to the management
interface.
• BMP mode (default) — the switch automatically configures all ports (management and user ports) as
Layer 3 physical ports and acts as a DHCP client on the ports for a user-configured time (DHCP
timeout). Set BMP mode using the (conf-reload-type)# boot-type bmp-reload command.
• Normal mode — the switch loads the Dell Networking OS image and startup configuration file stored
in the local Flash. New configurations require that you manually configure the Management IP and
Management Interface. Set Normal mode using the (conf-reload-type)# boot-type normal-
reload
command.
BMP Mode
In BMP mode, there are two types of contexts: factory-default context and normal context.
Factory-Default Context
BMP is enabled with the default parameters (no dhcp-timeout and config-scr -download). In this
context, you cannot enter CLI commands. By default, the BMP syslog messages are disabled. When BMP
is about to start, the following message displays:
This device is configured to enter Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP).
BMP will now attempt to download an image, configuration file or boot script
using DHCP.
You can only interact with the switch using the console. If you open the console and enter any key, the
input is discarded and the following message displays:
This device is in Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP) mode.
BMP is attempting to download an image, configuration file or boot
script using DHCP.
To continue with the standard manual interactive mode, it is
necessary to abort BMP.
Press A to abort BMP now.
Press C to continue with BMP.
Press L to toggle BMP syslog and console messages.
Press S to display the BMP status.
[A/C/L/S]:
NOTE: In the Factory-Default context, the console only accepts A/C/L/S input.
• Enter S to display the BMP status (show boot bmp). If you enter another key while BMP is running, it
displays the previous message and repeats the process.
• Enter A to stop BMP. The following actions occur:
– Aborts BMP
– Disables BMP for the next reload (which is a Normal reload)
– Initializes the BMP context variable in NOVRAM
– Applies the startup configuration, if it exists, or the Default configuration
• Enter C to continue with the BMP process. If you enter another key while BMP is running, it displays
the previous message and repeats the process.
• Enter L to toggle the BMP syslog messages. By default, the messages are disabled. The first L enables
the BMP messages and the second L disables the BMP messages.
NOTE: If the switch starts in Factory-Default context in the next reload, the BMP messages are
disabled again irrespective of the L status in the previous session.
