Reload without DHCP Offer and without Specified Number of Retries
When a switch that is reloading in DHCP-Client-Only mode cannot reach a DHCP
server and does not have a number of retries configured in the reload
factory-default dhcp-client-only-mode command, the switch attempts to reach
the DHCP server an infinite number of times; for example:
Entering Jumpstart app:

Reload without DHCP Offer and with Specified Number of Retries
When a switch that is reloading in DHCP-Client-Only mode cannot reach a DHCP
server but does have a number of retries configured in the reload factory-default
dhcp-client-only-mode command, the switch attempts to reach the DHCP server
only the specified number of times.
If a DHCP server cannot be reached within the configured number of retries, the
switch reverts to reloading in factory-default mode (see Factory-Default Mode (Mode
A)); for example:
Unable to obtain a lease on first try. Exiting. interval 16ry
Sending DHCP request
Unable to obtain a lease on first try. Exiting. interval 35ry
Sending DHCP request
Retry count (of 3) expired! DHCP offer not received. interval 12ry
Switching from dhcp-client-only to factory-default!
