During the initial setup, the switch boots to ONIE Install. ONIE Install boots with ONIE Discovery to the console (ONIE:).
ONIE service discovery
ONIE attempts to locate the installer through several discovery methods, as shown. To download and run an installer, the ONIE
Service Discovery feature uses the first successful method found.
1. Search locally attached storage devices for one of the ONIE default installer filenames—for example, the filename is: onie
self update from the USB.
2. Query to the IPv4 and 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, remove it before installing the DIAG-OS 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.
