Usage

Information

Use the stop bmp command on a switch running BMP if the switch enters a loop

while reloading in BMP mode. A loop occurs when the switch is continuously trying

to contact a DHCP server and a DHCP server is not found. The

stop bmp command

stops the switch from connecting to the DHCP server. After you use the

stop bmp

command, the next default reload type is a normal reload as indicated in the

show

reload-type or show system-brief commands.

The

stop bmp command behaves as below in different circumstances,

• While the Dell Networking OS image upgrade is in-progress, it aborts the BMP

process after the Dell Networking OS image is upgraded.

• When applying configurations from the file, it aborts the BMP process after all

the configurations are applied in the system.

• When running the pre-config or post-config script, it stops execution of the script

and aborts the BMP process immediately.

• When downloading the configuration or script file, it aborts the BMP process

after the download, it does not apply the configuration or run the script.

When you enter GLOBAL CONFIGURATION mode during the BMP process,

warning / error messages display to avoid configuration conflicts between you and

the BMP process.
