www.dell.com | support.dell.com Restrictions BMP 2.0 is supported on the user ports and management ports of a switch. BMP 2.0 is not supported in a stacking environment. Overview On a new factory-loaded switch, the switch boots up in Jumpstart mode. You can reconfigure a switch to reload between Normal and Jumpstart mode. • Jumpstart (BMP) mode: The switch automatically configures all ports (management and user ports) as Layer 3 physical ports and acts as a DHCP client on the ports for a user-configured time (DHCP timeout). This is the default startup mode. It is set with the reload-type jump-start command. • Normal mode: The switch loads the FTOS image and startup configuration file stored in the local flash. New configurations require that the Management IP and Management Interface be configured manually. This mode is set with the reload-type normal-reload command. To reconfigure a switch to reload between Normal and Jumpstart mode, use the reload-type command. Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose reload-type {normal-reload | jump-start [config-download {enable | disable}] [dhcp-timeout minutes]} EXEC Privilege Reload a switch running BMP version 2.0 in either Normal or Jumpstart mode. If you reload in Jumpstart mode, you can configure: • config-download: 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). • dhcp-timeout: The amount of time the switch waits for a DHCP server response before reverting to Normal mode and loading the startup configuration from the flash. The default time is infinity, which makes the switch continue to wait forever unless the stop jump-start command is given. Range: 1 to 50 minutes. Default: The switch tries to contact a DHCP server an infinite number of times. stop jump-start EXEC Privilege This command stops the jumpstart reload process while it is in progress and changes the reload type to Normal mode. If the command is initiated while the switch is downloading an image or configuration file, the command takes effect when the DHCP release is sent. The reload settings that you configure with the reload-type command are stored in non-volatile memory and retained for future reboots. Enter the reload command to reload the switch in the current configured mode: Normal or Jumpstart mode. 212 | Bare Metal Provisioning 2.0
