Bare Metal Provisioning CLI
Bare metal provisioning commands are supported on the S4810, S4820T, S3048–ON, S3100 series, S4048–ON, S4048T–ON, S5000,
S6000, S6000–ON, S6010–ON, S6100–ON, Z9100–ON, Z9500, C9010, IOA, FN-IOM, and MXL platforms.
In a data center network, BMP automates conguring and updating the switches, ensuring standard congurations across the installed
devices.
To set up a single switch or a stack of switches with minimal eort, use the auto-conguration function.
On S4810, S4820T, S3048–ON, S3100 series, S4048–ON, S4048T–ON, S5000, S6000, S6000–ON, S6010–ON, S6100–ON, Z9100–ON,
Z9500, C9010, IOA, FN-IOM, and MXL switch platforms running BMP:
• Species boot images and conguration les in a dynamic host conguration protocol (DHCP) server.
• Supports pre–conguration and post–conguration scripts to automatically load predened congurations and Dell EMC Networking
OS images using DHCP and common le transfer mechanisms.
• Allows switch access through all ports (management and user ports) with or without a DHCP-based dynamic IP address conguration
of the switch.
• Automatically downloads conguration les from a le 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.
