More information about the ONIE CLI command can be found [here](https://opencomputeproject.github.io/onie/cli/index.html#onie-nos-install).

### Default Installer Files

**WARNING** Setting a default configuration will reset the file system to the initial state. Only use this if you are prepared to lose all modifications of your current BISDN Linux installation.

BISDN Linux by default provides no network configuration for the switch ports. To allow a more switch like default configuration, it is possible to use the environment variable `BISDN_DEFAULT_CONFIG` while installing BISDN Linux to provide a default network configuration.

```
BISDN_DEFAULT_CONFIG="simple-l2-bridge" onie-nos-install http://repo.bisdn.de/pub/onie/generic-x86-64/onie-bisdn-generic-x86-64-v5.1.X.bin
```

The following table shows the supported configuration for `BISDN_DEFAULT_CONFIG` and the expected outcome.

|`BISDN_DEFAULT_CONFIG` Value|Outcome |Default|
|(Empty) |Use previous installation configuration |Y |
|`none` |Removes existing configuration and initializes the switch with all ports disabled | |
|`simple-l2-bridge` |Removes existing configuration and initializes the switch to forward traffic between all ports | |

### Get the image via DHCP option 60

Connect the management port to a DHCP server of your choice. The DHCP server uses “Vendor Class Identifier – Option 60” to tell the switch the URL of the image.
