www.dell.com | support.dell.com reload-type Configure a switch to reload in normal mode or as a DHCP client with all ports configured for z Layer 3 traffic. Syntax reload-type {normal-reload | jump-start [config-download {enable | disable}] [dhcp-timeout minutes]} Parameters normal-reload jump-start config-download {enable | disable} dhcp-timeout minutes The switch reloads in normal mode using the FTOS image and startup configuration file stored in the local flash. The switch reloads in Jumpstart mode as a DHCP client. (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). (Optional) Configure the DHCP timeout (in minutes) after which the Jumpstart reload stops. Range: 1 to 50. Default: Infinite number of retries. Defaults A switch running BMP 2.0 reloads in Jumpstart mode as a DHCP client with all ports configured for Layer 3 traffic.

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. 372 | Bare Metal Provisioning
