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
and reloads using that image. If the Dell Networking OS image on the server is the same image, the
system loads the configuration file, if present, or the startup-config without downloading a new image.
Domain Name Server Settings
To determine the host name applied in the switch startup configuration, when no configuration file is
retrieved from the DHCP server, set up a domain name server (DNS).
The DNS is contacted only when no configuration file is contained in a DHCP server response and the
host name is not resolved from the network-config file on the switch.
BMP MIB Support
The Management Information Base (MIBs) and the corresponding configurations are as follows:
MIB OID Value and Functionality

3.1.2
1 or 2 (Enable or Disable auto-save option)
1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.2
3.1.3
1 or 2 (Enable or Disable config-scr download option)
1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.2
3.1.4
0 - 50 (DHCP timeout value config)
1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.2
