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.
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 for 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.
