reload factory-default dhcp-client-only-mode
BMP 1.5 auto-configuration mode D: Reload the switch in DHCP-client-only mode
with a specified FTOS image and startup configuration file for a specified number of
discovery attempts.
Syntax
reload factory-default dhcp-client-only-mode [retries] [honor-startup-config]
Parameters
Defaults
The switch reloads by attempting to contact a DHCP server to download the FTOS
image and startup configuration file. By default, an infinite number of retries are
attempted.
When a switch that is reloading in DHCP-client-only mode cannot reach a DHCP
server and has a number of retries configured, 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 reloads in factory-default mode.

Information
Important: Do not use Mode D unless the DHCP, DNS, and file servers are already
configured. If the servers are not configured in the network, a switch endlessly
attempts to discover the DHCP and other servers and does not complete the reload.
retries Enter the number of times that the switch attempts to reach a DHCP
server. If no number of retries is entered, the switch continues to try
to locate a DHCP server an infinite number of times and does not
complete reloading. Range: 2 - 214748364
Default: Infinite number of retry attempts.
honor-startup-config Honor the startup configuration file stored in the local flash. If this
option is not entered, retrieve the configuration file from the
configured file server.
