Check your switch
To confirm that ONIE is working properly, use the onie-sysinfo command. Run the onie-sysinfo command at the ONIE prompt.
ONIE:/ # onie-sysinfo x86_64-dell_<platform>_c25
ONIE:/ # onie-sysinfo –c (Machine arch)
x86_64
ONIE:/ # onie-sysinfo –v (ONIE Version programmed)
x.xx.x.x

ONIE:/ # uname -a

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. Discover TFTP-based image from the DHCP server.
3. Query to the IPv6 link-local neighbors using HTTP for an installer.
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, TFTP. or USB 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:xx.xx.xx.xx Bcast:xx.xxx.xxx.xxx Mask:xxx.x.x.x

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 xx.xx.xx.xx/xx up
Verify the network connection with ping.
ONIE:/ # ping xx.xx.x.xx
