Throughout the installation process, a serial console must be connected to the
device.
The out-of-band management Ethernet interface must be connected if you are using
a remote NFS share, HTTP, FTP, or TFTP:
Availability of a DHCP server on the LAN for this Ethernet interface may
allow you to skip the need to manually configure the ONIE to connect to
one of the network-based methods of transferring the software.
If a DHCP server is not available, you need the default gateway, network
mask, and an IP address that is not in use on the network to which the
Ethernet interface is connected.
