Information
For an initial setup, the config-download parameter of the reload-type command is
enabled. After the configuration file is successfully downloaded, the
config-download parameter is automatically disabled. You can enable it again using
the
reload-type jumpstart config-download enable command.
For an initial setup, the
dhcp-timeout parameter of the reload-type command is
infinite. You can reconfigure the dhcp-timeout to a user-configured time using the
reload-type jumpstart dhcp-timeout {time} command.
After you set the auto-configuration mode (Jumpstart or Normal reload) using the
reload-type command, you must enter the reload command to reload the switch in
the configured mode.
When a switch reloads in Jumpstart (BMP) mode, all ports, including the
management port, are automatically configured as Layer 3 physical ports. The switch
acts as a DHCP client on the ports for a user-configured time (
dhcp-timeout option).
You can reconfigure the default startup configuration and DHCP timeout values.
normal-reload The switch reloads in normal mode using the FTOS image and
startup configuration file stored in the local flash.
jump-start The switch reloads in Jumpstart (BMP) mode as a DHCP client with
all ports configured for Layer 3 traffic.
config-download
{enable | disable}
(Optional) Configure whether the switch boots up using the
configuration file downloaded from the DHCP/file servers (
enable)
OR if the downloaded file will be discarded and the startup
configuration file stored in the local flash will be used (disable).
dhcp-timeout minutes (Optional) Configure the DHCP timeout (in minutes) after which the
BMP retry stops and the switch reloads in normal mode.
Range: 1 to 50.
Default: Infinite number of retries.
user-defined-string (Optional) Enter a user-defined string for DHCP option 60.
