Usage
Information
For an initial setup, the config-download parameter of the reload-type command is
enabled. After the configuration file is successfully downloaded, the
config-download
parameter is automatically disabled. You can enable it again using the
reload-type
command.
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.
normal-reload
The switch reloads in normal mode using the FTOS image and
startup configuration file stored in the local flash.
jump-start
The switch reloads in Jumpstart mode as a DHCP client.
config-download {enable |
disable}
(Optional) Configure whether the switch boots up using the
configuration file downloaded from the DHCP/file servers (
enable)
OR if the downloaded file will be discarded and the startup
configuration file stored in the local flash will be used (
disable).
dhcp-timeout minutes
(Optional) Configure the DHCP timeout (in minutes) after which the
Jumpstart reload stops.
Range: 1 to 50.
Default: Infinite number of retries.
