NOTE:
After you have securely installed and powered on the S5448F-ON switch, to configure your switch, see your
third-party ONIE-compatible operating system or the Dell EMC operating system documentation.
Topics:
•
Check your switch
•
ONIE service discovery
Check your switch
To confirm that ONIE is working properly, use the onie-sysinfo command. Run the onie-sysinfo command at the ONIE
prompt.
ONIE:/ # onie-sysinfo x86_64-dell_<platform>_c25
ONIE:/ # onie-sysinfo –v (ONIE Version programmed)
3.23.1.0
ONIE:/ #
ONIE:/ # uname -a
Linux onie 4.9.30-onie+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 20 11:11:37 PST 2020 x86_64

ONIE service discovery
ONIE attempts to locate the installer through several discovery methods.
To download and run an installer, the ONIE Service Discovery feature follows these steps in order and uses the first successful
method found:
1. Search locally attached storage devices for one of the ONIE default installer filenames—for example, onie self update
from the USB.
2. Discover TFTP-based image from the DHCP server.
3. Query to the IPv6 link-local neighbors using HTTP for an installer.
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, you must uninstall it before 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.
To display the IP address, use the ifconfig eth0 command, as shown.
ONIE:/ # ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 90:B1:1C:F4:9C:76
inet addr:xx.xx.xx.xx Bcast:xx.xxx.xxx.xxx Mask:xxx.x.x.x

RX bytes:1152 (1.1 KiB) TX bytes:6864 (6.7 KiB)

To assign an IP address to the management interface, eth0, and verify network connectivity, use the ifconfig eth0 <ip
address> command, as shown.
ONIE:/ # ifconfig eth0 xx.xx.xx.xx/xx up
Verify the network connection with ping.
ONIE:/ # ping xx.xx.x.xx
PING xx.xx.x.xx (xx.xx.x.xx): 56 data bytes
