If a post configuration script is present in the applied configuration file, it executes and the logs display:
00:04:22: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_POST_CONFIG_SCRIPT_BEGIN:
The Post-Config Script has started to Execute
..
00:05:15: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_POST_CONFIG_SCRIPT_END:
Post-Config script completed with return status 0.
If a post configuration script is not present in the applied configuration file, the logs display:
00:03:03: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %SYS-5-CONFIG_LOAD: Loading

The Post-Config Script is not present.
DHCP Offer Vendor-Specific Option for BMP
To configure FIPS mode for your system, use the vendor-specific DHCP OFFER option (code 231) called
fips-mode-enabled so that BMP can decide to use the non-FIPS-approved algorithms for the image/
config-file download process.
This option accepts the boolean type value TRUE/FALSE to enable or disable FIPS mode. BMP uses this
setting temporarily and only for the image/config-file download process. BMP never stores this in either
the runing-config or startup-config. The DHCP OFFER controls using non-FIPS-approved algorithms by
the BMP-initiated file download process. If you have not configured this option, by default BMP assumes
you have disabled FIP mode.
• If the value is set to TRUE, BMP enables FIPS mode and uses the relevant FIPS-approved algorithms
for the image/config-file download process.
• If the value is set to FALSE, BMP disables FIPS mode and uses the non-FIPS-approved algorithms for
the image/config-file download process.
DHCP Offer Relay Option 82
Dell Networking OS supports Option 82 in DHCP offer. With option 82, the switch appends the interface
details while sending the DHCP discover packet. To support option 82, the configured circuit ID and
remote IDs are filled in the DHCP discover packets. The reload-type command has an option to enable
or disable the DHCP offer option 82. By default, the option 82 is disabled. To enable the option 82, you
have to configure the remote ID using the reload-type sub-command relay remote-id "mac/
hostname/custom string
.
• The circuit ID identifies the port originating the Protocol Data Unit (PDU) and has the interface details.
• The remote ID is configurable between the switch MAC address, the hostname, or a custom string. To
set the remote ID, enable the relay up-front in reload-type sub mode. If the relay is enabled, by
default, the remote ID is set to MAC address.
