To reload in non-BMP mode, enter reload-type normal command. Enter config-download enable to download the configuration file from the DHCP server. Enter config-download disable so that the system uses the start-up configuration file on the flash. Enter auto-save enable to configure the auto-save option for the downloaded configuration file. The retry-count is to configure the number of entries for configuration download. stop jump-start EXEC Privilege The dhcp-timeout (1 to 50 minutes) is the amount of time the system waits for a DHCP server response before reverting to Normal mode and loading the start-up configuration files from the flash. The default time is infinity; if no time is set, the system continues to wait unless the stop jump-start command is given. This command stops the jump-start reload process while it is in progress. If the command is initiated while the system is downloading an image or configuration file, the command takes effect when the DHCP release is sent. System Boot and Set-Up Behavior Note: Configure the system to boot in Normal mode (NOT using BMP) by entering the reload-type normal command. When the system boots up in BMP mode all ports, including the management port on the master unit are placed in L3 mode in a no shut state. The system acts as a DHCP client on these ports for a period of time (dhcp-timeout). This allows the system time to send out a DHCP DISCOVER on all the interface up ports to the DHCP Server in order to obtain its IP address, boot image filename, and configuration file from the DHCP server. 1. System begins boot up process in BMP mode (default mode). 106 | Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP)
