ONIE ifconfig eth0 command examples
If none of the ONIE Service Discovery methods are successful, you can disable this using the onie-discovery-stop command.
You can install an operating system manually from HTTP, USB, FTP, or TFTP using the onie-nos-install <URL> command.
NOTE: If you have a recovery USB plugged into your system, you must remove it using the onie-nos-install <URL>
command.
The ONIE Install environment uses DHCP to assign an IP address to the management interface, eth0. If that fails, it uses the link-local
IPv4 address 169.254.209.190/16.
To display the IP address, use the ifconfig eth0 command, as shown:
ONIE:/ # ifcong eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 90:B1:1C:F4:9C:76
inet addr:x.x.x.x Bcast:x.x.x.x Mask:x.x.x.x
inet6 addr: fe80::92b1:1cff:fef4:9c76/64 Scope:Link

RX bytes:1152 (1.1 KiB) TX bytes:6864 (6.7 KiB)
Interrupt:21 Memory:ff300000-ff320000
To assign an IP address to the management interface, eth0, and verify network connectivity, use the ifconfig eth0 <ip
address> command, as shown:
ONIE:/ # ifcong eth0 x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x UP
Then set speed on management interface as below
ONIE:/ # ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full
Verify the network connection with ping.
ONIE:/ # ping x.x.x.x
PING x.x.x.x (x.x.x.x): 56 data bytes

Installation ONIE from BIOS
Install ONIE from the BIOS using the media (usb) boot—the ONIE installer USB.
Pre-requisites
The BIOS running on your system must meet the following requirements:
• Allows a change to the boot order so the system can boot from media (USB).
• Allows a baud-rate change. This feature is optional; you do not need it if your BIOS is running at 115200 baud rate. The default baud rate
for ONIE is 115200.
CAUTION
:
• These procedures are for x86-based targets only, particularly targets using Rangeley or Centerton CPU-based boards.
• Check the console (UART-0/1) used on the target.
• The log messages included in this guide are subject to change.
NOTE: The following procedure is generic and does not list a particular target. Therefore, the ONIE images are specied using
the <platform>_<cpu> notation. For example, the ONIE media (usb) iso image is onie-recovery-x86_64-
dell_<platform>_<cpu>-r0.iso.
