The backplane virtual application interface can be configured automatically using the
Shelf Address (default) or by specifying a static IP address.
Use the following parameters to the BP_APPL_MODE variable to define the
configurations for backplane virtual interface.
none - Do not configure the interface
auto - Automatic configuration of the interface
static - Use other parameters to configure the interface
BP_APPL_MODE=auto
– Static Configuration of the Backplane Virtual Interface
If using the static parameter to configure the backplane virtual interface, specify
the desired IP addresses and netmask using the following variables:
BP_V_ACT_APPL_IPADDR=
BP_V_STB_APPL_IPADDR=
BP_V_APPL_NETMASK=
 DHCP Client Configuration
The DHCP client configuration file located in /etc/dhclient.conf can be
automatically configured with a predetermined DHCP client identifier. This feature can be
enabled by changing the DHCLIENT_GEN option to auto. This causes the DHCP client
host statement to be appended at each boot, and the dhclient.conf file should not be
a part of the persistent file system in this scenario.
DHCLIENT_GEN=auto
 Enabling the DHCP Server
A DHCP server can be started on the out-of-band or backplane interfaces. To enable the
server, specify "yes" to any combination of the following variables:
OOB_DHCP_SERVER=
BP_A_DHCP_SERVER=
