Usage
Information
After you set the auto-configuration mode (Jumpstart or normal reload) using the
reload-type command, you must enter the reload command to reload the switch in
the configured mode.
When a switch reloads in Jumpstart mode, all ports, including the management port,
are automatically configured as Layer 3 physical ports. The switch acts as a DHCP
client on the ports for a user-configured time (
dhcp-timeout option). You can
reconfigure the default startup configuration and DHCP timeout values.
If a switch enters a loop while reloading in Jumpstart mode because the switch
continuously tries to contact a DHCP server and a DHCP server is not found, enter
the
stop jump-start command to interrupt the reload and boot up in normal mode.
The startup configuration is then loaded from the local flash on the switch.
Use the
reload-type command in BMP 2.0 to toggle between normal and Jumpstart
auto-configuration modes. The reload settings for the auto-configuration mode that
you configure are stored in memory and retained after future reboots and BMP
software upgrades. You can enter the
reload command at any time to reload the
switch in the last configured mode: normal reload or Jumpstart mode.

BMP 2.0 with the path of the FTOS image file retrieved from a DHCP server.
