Still I don't understand how conceptually this approach works : what's the

this BMC is for this node on this switch/port without powering the node on ?
When the node is plugged in, the BMC powers up. From there, discovery happens
similar to pxe-driven, but net.switch and net.switchport are defined as where
the BMC can be found rather than the node's provisioning port.
Oh ok, that's the BMC which actually is discovered.
And indeed this is not so simple if BMC has to be first configured (ex:
specific vlan).
Thanks for the clarification.
