IP address assignment in ONIE

Prerequisites

By default, DHCP is enabled in ONIE. If your network has DHCP configured, ONIE gets the valid IP address for the management port using DHCP, as shown. 
Info: Using eth0 MAC address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Info: Using eth1 MAC address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 
Info: eth0: Checking link... up. 
Info: Trying DHCPv4 on interface: eth0 
ONIE: Using DHCPv4 addr: eth0: xx.xx.xxx.xx / xxx.xxx.xxx.x

About this task

You can manually assign an IP address.

Steps

  1. Wait for ONIE to complete a DHCP timeout and return to the prompt.
  2. Wait for ONIE to assign a random default IP address. This address may not be valid for your network.
  3. Enter the ifconfig command to assign a valid IP address.
    This command is not persistent. After you reboot, you must reconfigure the IP address. 
    ** Rescue Mode Enabled ** ONIE:/ #
ONIE:/ #  ifconfig eth0 xx.xx.xxx.xxx/xx up
    NOTE Since the management IP address is lost, configuration is done fro the OS10 mode. Save the configuration before performing any action.
    NOTE Copy the startup configuration to the running configuration as the configuration maybe lost after the upgrade.
