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
