[Q] Can this autoprovision BMC ports and PXE NIC on the server?

[edward-nunez]

Looking for a replacement for xCAT which does auto provisioning with SNMP traps very well. Allows me to define hosts based on a port of the switch or mac address of the host. I prefer to find the host based on the switch port, because I don't have to scan the mac address or get it before it goes online.

Can I get the same/similar functionality with Chef-provisioning and if not what's a good alternative in the chef environment?
