ONIE Service Discovery and OS
Installation
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 Passed from the boot loader.
2 Search locally attached storage devices for one of the ONIE default installer filenames (for example,
USB).
3 Exact the URLs from DHCPv4.
4 Inexact the URLs based on the DHCPv4 responses.
5 Query to the IPv6 link-local neighbors using HTTP for an installer.
6 TFTP waterfall — from the DHCPv4 option 66
Examples of the ONIE ifconfig eth0 Commands
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 system, you must remove it prior to installing the
DIAG-OS using the onie-nos-install <URL> 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.
To display the IP address, use the ifconfig eth0 command, as shown in the following example.
ONIE:/ # ifconfig eth0
