configuration file
Reload with a DHCP Server Offer and no Configuration File
A switch is configured to reload in BMP mode. If the switch reaches a DHCP server but cannot retrieve a
configuration file, the switch looks for a configuration file on the file server if you enabled
config-scr-
download.
1. The system boots up with the BMP application.
2. The system receives a DHCP offer from a DHCP server with the following parameters:
00:02:26: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_DHCP_OFFER: DHCP OFFER
received on Te 0/21 IS SELECTED.
00:02:26: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_REQUEST: DHCP REQUEST sent
on Te 0/21.
00:02:26: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_ACK: DHCP ACK received on
Te 0/21.
00:02:26: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_BOOT_OFFER: DHCP acquired
IP 13.4.4.44 mask 255.255.255.0 server IP 13.4.4.1.
00:02:26: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_BOOT_OFFER: DHCP tftp IP
NIL sname NIL dns IP NIL router IP NIL.
00:02:27: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_BOOT_OFFER: DHCP image file

00:02:27: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_BOOT_OFFER: DHCP config
file NIL.
00:02:27: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_BOOT_OFFER: stacking info
NIL.
3. The system downloads the build image from the file server.
4. The system compares the current local build image to the downloaded build image as follows:
a. If the build image versions match, the system does not try to load any image and comes up
with the Dell prompt.
00:02:55: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_RELEASE_HEADER_INFO:
Downloaded Image Major Version : 1
00:02:55: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_RELEASE_HEADER_INFO:
Downloaded Image Minor Version : 0
00:02:56: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_RELEASE_HEADER_INFO:
Downloaded Image Main Version : 0
00:02:56: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_RELEASE_HEADER_INFO:
Downloaded Image Patch Version : 1216
00:02:56: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_RELEASE_HEADER_INFO:
Flash A Image Major Version : 1
00:02:56: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_RELEASE_HEADER_INFO:
Flash A Image Minor Version : 0
00:02:56: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_RELEASE_HEADER_INFO:
Flash A Image Main Version : 0
00:02:56: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_RELEASE_HEADER_INFO:
Flash A Image Patch Version : 1216
b. If the build images versions are different, the system stores the downloaded build image in local
flash memory and loads the build image from the flash. This process repeats until the build
image versions match.
The system looks for the configuration file on the file server. If the system does not find a configuration
file, the download fails. If the build image processing is successful, BMP stops. If the build image
download also fails, the current offer is treated as invalid and BMP tries to send DISCOVER messages.
