3.1 Loading settings
When it is restarted, the device loads its configuration data from the local
non-volatile memory. The prerequisites for this are:
You have not connected an AutoConfiguration Adapter (ACA) and
the IP configuration is “local”.
During a restart, the device also allows you to load settings from the following
sources:
a binary file of the AutoConfiguration Adapter. If an ACA is connected to
the device, the device automatically loads its configuration from the ACA
during the boot procedure.
from a script file of the AutoConfiguration Adapter. If an ACA is connected
to the device, the device automatically loads its configuration from the
script file of the ACA during the boot procedure (see on page 61 “Loading
a script from the ACA”).
Note: Details of times required for a reboot:
The time required for a cold start is the time taken by the device from the
moment power is switched on until it is fully connected and its
Management-CPU is fully accessible.
Depending on the device type and the extent of the configuration settings,
a cold start takes at least about 10 seconds.
Extensive configuration settings will increase the time required for a
reboot, especially if they contain a high number of VLANs. In extreme
cases, a reboot can take up to about 200 seconds.
A warm start is quicker, since in this case the device skips the software
loading from NVRAM.
