Install Guide

NOTE: After you have securely installed and powered on the Z9264F-ON switch, to configure your switch, see your

third-party ONIE-compatible OS or the Dell EMC OS documentation.

ONIE service discovery

ONIE attempts to locate the installer through several discovery methods.

To download and run an installer, the ONIE Service Discovery feature follows these steps in order and uses the first successful method

found:

1. Search locally attached storage devices for one of the ONIE default installer filenames—for example, onie self update from the

USB.

2. Query to the IPv6 link-local neighbors using HTTP for an installer.

3. Discover TFTP-based image from the DHCP server.

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, FTP, or TFTP using the onie-nos-install <URL> command.

NOTE: If you have a recovery USB plugged into your switch, you must remove it before using the onie-nos-install

command.

The ONIE Install environment uses DHCP to assign an IP address to the management interface—eth0. If that fails, it uses the default IP

address 192.168.3.10/255.255.255.0.

To display the IP address, use the ifconfig eth0 command, as shown.

ONIE:/ # ifconfig eth0

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 90:B1:1C:F4:9C:76

inet addr:10.11.53.33 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0

To assign an IP address to the management interface, eth0, and verify network connectivity, use the ifconfig eth0 <ip

address> command, as shown.

ONIE:/ # ifconfig eth0 10.11.53.33/16 UP

Verify the network connection with ping.

ONIE:/ # ping 10.11.8.12
