Usage
Information
For an initial setup, the config-scr-download parameter of the reload-type
command is enabled. After the configuration file is successfully downloaded, the
config—scr-download parameter is automatically disabled. You can enable it
again using the reload-type command.
Set the Auto Configuration mode (BMP or Normal reload) using the reload-type
command. Next, enter the reload command to reload the switch in the
configured mode.
When a switch reloads in BMP mode, all ports, including the management port, are
automatically configured as Layer 3 physical ports. The switch runs DHCP client on
all interfaces. You can reconfigure the default startup configuration and DHCP
timeout values.
If the switch attempts to contact a DHCP server and one is not found, it enters a
loop while reloading in BMP mode. To interrupt the reload and boot up in Normal
mode, enter the stop bmp command. The startup configuration is then loaded
from the local flash on the switch.
To toggle between Normal and BMP Auto Configuration modes, use the reload-
type command in BMP. Reload settings for Auto Configuration mode that you
configure are stored in memory and retained for future reboots and BMP software
