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 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 (the 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 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.
