Jumpstart Mode
Jumpstart (BMP) mode is the default boot mode configured for a new switch arriving from Dell Networking.
This mode obtains the Dell Networking OS image and configuration file from a network source (DHCP server
and file server).
DHCP Server/Configuration
You must first configure an external DHCP server before you can use Jumpstart mode on a switch. Configure
the DHCP server with the following parameters for each client switch. The DHCP server is configured to
assign an IP address to the switch and specify the files to download.
For more information, refer to the Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide, the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol chapter.
Configure one or more of the following parameters on the DHCP server:
• Boot File Name: The Dell Networking OS image to load on the switch. The boot filename is expected to
use Option 67 or the boot filename in the boot payload of the DHCP offer. If both are specified, Option
67 is used.
• Configuration File Name: The configurations to apply to the switch. The configuration filename 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 switch supports TFTP, HTTP, and FTP
protocols, as well as files 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 file transfers.
The DHCP option codes used are:
