Reload with a DHCP Server offer without a File Server Address
If a switch that is configured to reload in DHCP-Client mode reaches a DHCP server
but is not able to reach a file server, the FTOS image stored in the local flash is loaded
and the factory-default configuration (Figure 3-2) is applied as follows:
1. The system boots up with the BMP application.
Entering Jumpstart app:
Initializing runtime directories
Reading Release Image at 0x40000 Part: A
2. The system receives a DHCP offer from a DHCP server with the following
parameters.
***** DHCP OFFER DETAILS *****
DHCP acquired IP = 20.0.0.77
subnet-mask = 255.255.255.0
DHCP provided Image file = FTOS-SC-1-2-0-385.bin
DHCP provided Config file = customer.conf
DHCP Server IP = 20.0.0.1
TFTP Server IP = NIL
DNS IP = 20.0.0.1
**********************************
The system does not receive the IP address of a file server from which it can
retrieve the FTOS image and configuration file.
3. The system boots up with the image stored in the local flash memory.
4. If the honor startup-config option is configured with the reload
factory-default dhcp-client-mode command, the system applies the startup
configuration file from the local flash, otherwise the factory-default settings
(Figure 3-2) are applied.
Note: The IP address assigned by the DHCP server is released at the end of the
system reload. The switch attempts to reach the file server four times before sending
an error message and proceeding to the next step.
