Users Guide

• Boot File Name: The Dell Networking OS image to load on the switch. The boot lename is expected to use Option 67 or the
boot lename in the boot payload of the DHCP oer. If both are specied, Option 67 is used.
• Conguration File Name: The congurations to apply to the switch. The conguration lename is expected to use Option 209.
• File Server Address: The server where the Image and Congurations le are placed. The address is assumed to be a TFTP
address unless it is given as a URL. The switch supports TFTP, HTTP, and FTP protocols, as well as les stored in Flash. If TFTP
is used, you can add Option 66 or Option 150.
• Domain Name Server: (Optional.) The domain name server (DNS) to be contacted to resolve the hostname through Option 6.
• IP Address: Dynamic IP address for the switch. This is used only for le transfers.
The DHCP option codes used are:

Description
6 Domain Name Server IP
66 TFTP Server name
67 Boot lename
150 TFTP server IP address
209 Conguration File
NOTE: The boot le name and conguration le name must be in the correct format. If it is not, the switch is unable to
download the le from the DHCP server and behaves as if the server could not be reached. The discovery process
continues, despite congured time-out, until you enter the stop jump-start command.
