Bare Metal Provisioning CLI
Bare metal provisioning commands are supported on the S4810, S4820T, S3048–ON, S4048–ON,
S5000, S6000, S6000–ON, Z9500, Z9100–ON, IOA, and MXL platforms.
In a data center network, BMP automates configuring and updating the switches, ensuring standard
configurations across the installed devices.
To set up a single switch or a stack of switches with minimal effort, use the auto-configuration function.
On S4810, S4820T, S3048–ON, S4048–ON, S5000, S6000, S6000–ON, Z9500, Z9100–ON, IOA, and
MXL switch platforms running BMP:
• Specifies boot images and configuration files in a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server.
• Supports preconfiguration and postconfiguration scripts to automatically load predefined
configurations and Dell Networking OS images using DHCP and common file transfer mechanisms.
• Allows switch access through all ports (management and user ports) with or without a DHCP-based
dynamic IP address configuration of the switch.
• Automatically downloads configuration files from a file server and applies them to the switch or stack.
• Boots up in Layer 3 mode with interfaces already in No Shutdown mode. Some basic protocols are
enabled to protect the system and network.
