DHCP Oer Vendor-Specic Option for BMP

To congure FIPS mode for your system, use the vendor-specic DHCP OFFER option (code 231) called fips-mode-enabled so that

BMP can decide to use the non-FIPS-approved algorithms for the image/cong-le 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/cong-le download process. BMP never stores this in either the runing-cong or startup-cong. The DHCP OFFER controls

using non-FIPS-approved algorithms by the BMP-initiated le download process. If you have not congured 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/cong-le

download process.

• If the value is set to FALSE, BMP disables FIPS mode and uses the non-FIPS-approved algorithms for the image/cong-le download

process.

DHCP Oer Relay Option 82

Dell Networking OS supports option 82 in DHCP oer. With option 82, the switch appends the interface details while sending the DHCP

discover packet. To support option 82, the congured circuit ID and remote IDs are lled in the DHCP discover packets. The reload-

type

command has an option to enable or disable the DHCP oer option 82. By default, the option 82 is disabled. To enable the option 82,

you have to congure the remote ID using the reload-type sub-command relay remote-id "mac/hostname/custom

string.

• The circuit ID identies the port originating the protocol data unit (PDU) and has the interface details.

• The remote ID is congurable 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 you enable the relay, by default, the remote ID is set to MAC address.

Software Upgrade Using BMP

BMP simplies switch conguration by allowing you to boot images and run congurations that are specied in a DHCP server and also by

automatically downloading les from a le server.

In a network topology with a large number of devices, use BMP to easily administer, upgrade, and maintain your devices.

Congure Auto-Conguration mode using the reload-type bmp command. Reload the switch in Conguration mode using the reload

command.

Apply Congurations Using BMP Scripts

With Dell Networking OS version 9.1(0.0) or later, Open Automation supports a scripting environment when a BMP or Normal reload occurs.

BMP uses pre-conguration scripts, while a Normal reload-type uses an auto-exec script. The BMP post-conguration script runs on its

own, without any BMP or Normal reload-type restrictions.

Pre–conguration Scripts

In BMP, the Dell Networking OS rst accesses the image, then the conguration le or pre–conguration script from the DHCP oer.

Use pre–conguration scripts to:
