DHCP Server

DHCP Configuration
You must first configure a DHCP server before you can use the BMP mode on a switch. Configure the
DHCP server with the set of parameters described below for each client switch. Refer to the FTOS
Configuration Guide: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol chapter for detailed information. The DHCP
server is configured to assign an IP to the system and other parameters.
Update the following parameters on the appropriate DHCP server.
• Boot File Name: The FTOS image to be loaded on the system. The boot file name is expected to use
option 67 or the boot filename in the BOOTP payload of the DHCP offer. If both are specified, option
67 will be used. The system supports TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, SFTP, SCP and FTP protocols, as well as
files stored in Flash.
• Configuration File Name: The configurations to be applied to the system. The configuration file name
is expected to use option 209.
• File Server Address: The server where the Image and Configurations file are placed. The address is
assumed to be a TFTP address unless it is given as a URL. The system supports TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS,
SFTP, SCP and FTP protocols, as well as files stored in Flash.
• Domain Name Server: (Optional) The DNS server to be contacted to resolve the hostname.
• IP Address: Dynamic IP address for the system. This is used only for file transfers.
