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, connect to the switch using
the console terminal and 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
and the auto-configuration mode is automatically changed to Normal reload.
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.
