Users Guide

1. Save the OS10 software image on an SCP/TFTP/FTP server.
2. Power up the switch and select ONIE Rescue for manual installation.
3. Stop DHCP discovery.
$ onie-discovery-stop
4. Configure the IP addresses on the Management port, where x.x.x.x represents your internal IP address. After you configure
the Management port, the response is up.
$ ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.0.0 up
5. Install the software on the device. The installation command accesses the OS10 software from the specified SCP, TFTP, or
FTP URL, creates partitions, verifies installation, and reboots itself.
$ onie-nos-install image_url
For example, enter
ONIE:/ # onie-nos-install ftp://a.b.c.d/PKGS_OS10–Enterprise-x.x.xx.bin
Where a.b.c.d represents the location to download the image file from, and x.x.xx represents the version number of the
software to install.
The OS10 installer image creates several partitions. After installation completes, the switch automatically reboots and loads
OS10 active image. The other image becomes the standby image.
Install manually using a USB drive
You can manually install the OS10 software image using a USB device. Verify that the USB device supports a FAT or EXT2 file
system. For instructions to format a USB device in FAT or EXT2 format, see the accompanying Windows documentation for FAT
formatting or Linux documentation for FAT or EXT2 formatting.
1. Plug the USB storage device into the USB storage port on the switch.
2. Power up the switch to automatically boot using the ONIE: Rescue option.
3. (Optional) Stop ONIE discovery if the device boots to ONIE: Install.
$ onie-discovery-stop
4. Create a USB mount location on the system.
$ mkdir /mnt/media
5. Identify the path to the USB drive.
$ fdisk -l
6. Mount the USB media plugged in the USB port on the device.
$ mount -t vfat usb-drive-path /mnt/media
7. Install the software from the USB, where /mnt/media specifies the path where the USB partition is mounted.
$ onie-nos-install /mnt/media/image_file
The ONIE auto-discovery process discovers the image file at the specified USB path, loads the software image, and reboots the
switch. For more information, see the ONIE User Guide.
Log in
Connect a terminal emulator to the console serial port on the switch using a serial cable. Serial port settings are 115200 baud
rate, 8 data bits, and no parity.
To log in to an OS10 switch, power up and wait for the system to perform a power-on self-test (POST). Enter admin for both
the default user name and user password.
