Manual installation
You can manually install an OpenSwitch OPX 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 congure the Management port
and congure the software image le to start installation.
1 Save the OpenSwitch OPX 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
4 Congure the IP addresses on the Management port, where x.x.x.x represents your internal IP address. Once you congure the
Management port, the response should be 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 OpenSwitch OPX software from the provided SCP, TFTP,
or FTP URL, creates partitions, veries installation, and reboots itself.
onie-nos-install <image-location>
The OpenSwitch OPX installer image creates several partitions, including OPX-A (active and default) and OPX-B (standby). After
installation completes, the system automatically reboots and loads OpenSwitch OPX.
Install OpenSwitch OPX manually
ONIE:/ # onie-nos-install ftp://x.x.x.x/PKGS_OPX-3.X.X.X-installer-x86_64.bin
Where x.x.x.x represents the location to download the image le from, and 3.X.X.X represents the version number of the software to install.

2 (Optional) Stop the ONIE discovery process if the device boots to ONIE: Install.
onie-discovery-stop
3 Create a USB mount location on the system.
mkdir /mnt/media
4 Mount the USB media plugged in the USB port on the device.
mount —t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/media
5 Install the software from the USB, where /mnt/media species the path where the USB partition is mounted.
