If a USB drive is inserted, auto-discovery searches the USB storage supporting FAT or EXT2 file systems. It also searches SCP,
FTP, or TFTP servers with the default DNS name of the ONIE server. DHCP options are not used to provide the server IP, and
the auto discovery method repeats until a successful software image installation occurs and reboots the switch.
Example for automatic installation
1. Use the mv image_name onie-installer command to rename the image as onie-installer.
mv PKGS_OS10-Base-10.3.1B.144-installer-x86_64.bin onie-installer
2. After renaming, the system enters the ONIE: Install mode. Enter the command onie-discovery-start, which
automatically discovers the onie-installer image from the DHCP server.
ONIE:/ # onie-discovery-start
discover: installer mode detected. Running installer.
Starting: discover... done.
ONIE:/ # Info: eth0: Checking link... up.
Info: Trying DHCPv4 on interface: eth0
ONIE: Using DHCPv4 addr: eth0: 10.10.10.17 / 255.0.0.0

Manual installation
You can manually install an OS10 software image if a DHCP server is not available. If the IP address for the Management
port (eth0) is not automatically discovered, ONIE sets the IP address to 192.168.3.10. You must manually configure the
Management port and configure the software image file to start installation.
1. Save the OS10 software image on an SCP/TFTP/FTP server.
2. Power up the device and select ONIE Rescue for manual installation.
3. (Optional) Stop the DHCP discovery if the device boots to ONIE Install.
$ onie-discovery-stop
