With BMP, after a you install a switch, the switch searches the network for a DHCP server. The DHCP server provides

the switch with a management IP address and the location of a TFTP or FTP file server. The file server maintains a

configuration file and an approved version of FTOS for the Dell Networking S55, S60, S4810, S4820T, S6000, Z9000, and

MXL Blade switches. The switch automatically configures itself by loading and installing an embedded FTOS image with

the startup configuration file.

For more information about BMP, refer to the

Open Automation Guide

at https://www.force10networks.com/CSPortal20/

KnowledgeBase/Documentation.aspx . Select the Open Automation heading.

Important: When you enter the system MAC address into the Assign Switch Identities screen, AFM generates a

port MAC address from the pre-deployment configuration, not a chassis MAC address.

To integrate the DHCP configuration:

1. Navigate to the Network >

Fabric Name

> Configure and Deploy screen.

2. From the Deploy Fabric pull-down menu, select the Pre-deployment Configuration option.

3. Navigate to the DHCP Integration screen.

4. Click Save to ... and then specify the location to save the generated DHCP configuration file. You can also copy and

paste the configuration into the DHCP server.

5. Install the DHCP file onto the DHCP server before your deploy the fabric.

6. Click Next to go to the Summary screen.

Pre-Deployment – Step 7: Summary

To review the pre-deployment configuration, use the Summary screen. This screen displays the following information:

• Specified IP and protocol settings for the fabric, uplink, and downlink configuration

• Software image information for each type of switch

• Configuration file transfer status to the remote or local TFTP or FTP server

To view the pre-deployment configuration:

1. Navigate to the Network >

Fabric Name

> Configure and Deploy screen.

2. From the Deploy Fabric pull-down menu, select the Pre-deployment Configuration option.

3. Navigate to the Summary screen.

4. Carefully review the pre-deployment configuration before you commit it.

5. Click the Finished button to commit your changes.

Next Steps:

1. Verify that the DHCP configuration file that you created for the fabric is integrated into the DHCP server so that the

switches are assigned a management IP address before you deploy the fabric.

2. Power on the switches in the fabric when you have completed the pre-deployment process. After you power cycle

the switches, the switches use bare metal provisioning (BMP).

Important: If you are using a switch that has already been deployed, you must reset its factory settings to

use it in the fabric. The switch must be in BMP mode. For more information about BMP, see DHCP

Integration and refer to the

Open Automation Guide

at https://www.force10networks.com/CSPortal20/

KnowledgeBase/Documentation.aspx . Select the Open Automation heading.

3. Navigate to the Network >

Fabric Name

> Configure and Deploy screen.

4. From the Deploy Fabric pull-down menu, to deploy and validate the fabric, select the Deploy and Validate option.
