Command Modes
CONFIGURATION
normal-reload Enable the normal reload type and disable BMP reload type. After
performing the reload, the system retrieves the Dell Networking OS
image and startup-configuration files from the flash after performing
a reload.
bmp (Default) Enable the BMP reload type. The system acts as a DHCP
client and downloads the Dell Networking OS image and
configuration file or script files from a specified DHCP server.
auto-save To save the downloaded configuration or script file which are not
saved by default, configure the auto save option. When you
configure auto save, downloaded configurations are automatically
saved to the startup configuration. Auto saving the downloaded
configurations also requires enabling the config-scr-download
parameter. Downloaded scripts are automatically saved to the
autoexec script.
config-scr-download
{enable}
(Optional) Enable the download of the configuration file or
pre-configuration script from the DHCP / file servers.
config-scr-download
{disable}
(Optional) Disable the download of the configuration file or
pre-configuration script from the DHCP/ file servers.
dhcp-timeout minutes (Optional) Configure the DHCP timeout (in minutes) after which the
BMP exits. The range is from 0 to 50. If you enter a range of 0, the
timeout is 0 (no limit). The default is disabled.
Note: Dell Networking recommends setting the value to 2 or higher.
retry-count number Configure the number of times to retry downloading the Dell
Networking OS image, configuration file, or script file from the
DHCP / file servers, if the servers are not reachable. The retry limit is
from 0 to 6. If the retry limit is 0, no retry is performed. The default
is 0.
vendor-class-identifier
description
(Optional) Enter a brief description for the user defined field in
option 60. Maximum is 64 characters long. User string is appended
with Type, Hardware, Serial Number, Service Tag and OS Version.
Note: This parameter replaces the deprecated user-defined-string
parameter.
