makedhcp -a frame[01-04]sw1
Executing the ``makedhcp`` command will kick off the network install of the ONIE enabled switch. If there is no OS pre-loaded on the switch, the switch continues to send a DHCPREQUEST out to the network. After ``makedhcp`` is run against the switch, an entry is added to the leases file that will respond to the request with the Cumulus Linux installer file. ::
At this point, the DHCPREQUEST from the switch should now get a response with the Cumulus Linux OS and begin the network installation. *(Normal installation time for Cumulus Linux is 1 hour)*
