Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP)
Bare metal provisioning (BMP) is supported on the Dell Force10 S55, S60, S4810, and Z-Series platforms. BMP version
1.5 is supported on the S55 and S60 platforms. BMP 3.0 is supported on S4810 and Z-Series platforms.
In a data center network, BMP automates the configuration and updating of switches, ensuring standard configurations
across the installed devices.
You can configure autoconfiguration on a single switch or on multiple switches. BMP allows you to set up a stack with a
minimum of effort, but is also useful for quick configuration of a single switch.
For more information about BMP in Auto-Configuration mode, refer to the
Open Automation Guide
.
BMP 3.0 eases configuration by providing the following key features:
•
Boot images and running configurations are specified in a DHCP server.
•
Files are automatically downloaded from a file server and applied by the switch.
•
Switch access is allowed through all ports (management and user ports) with or without DHCP-based dynamic
IP address configuration of a switch.
•
Booting up in Layer 3 mode with interfaces already in No Shutdown mode. Enables only some basic protocols to
protect the system and the network.
•
Supports preconfiguration and postconfiguration scripts to automatically load predefined configurations and
FTOS images using DHCP and common file transfer mechanisms.
