Set [B]oot Load Mode

Allows the user to determine how the switch should boot up.

There are two boot load options: local and remote.

❑ Local

If you choose the local boot load mode, the switch boots using the

management software that is saved in the switch memory. This is

the default boot load mode. If you are going to use the local boot

load mode, you do not need to configure any of the other

parameters on the Bootstrap Configuration Menu and the switch

will not download any files when it boots up.
