Boot Mode Transition. Tag 2, Len 1, Data 1/2

This option 43 setting enables or disables the After IP Assignment option which, by default, causes the Boot mode option to base its setting on the server that provided the network assignment values (DHCP Only or BOOTP Only):

•A data value of 1 disables the After IP Assignment option. The Boot mode option remains as DHCP & BOOTP after network values are assigned successfully. Whenever the Management Card reboots, it will request its network assignment first from a BOOTP server, and then, if necessary, from a DHCP server.

See DHCP & BOOTP boot process.

•A data value of 2 enables the After IP Assignment option. The Boot mode option switches to DHCP Only when the Management Card accepts the DHCP response. Whenever the Management Card reboots, it will request its network assignment from a DHCP server, only.

For more information about the After IP Assignment option, see Management Card settings.

Following, in hexadecimal format, is an example of a Vendor Specific Information option that contains the APC cookie and the disable Boot Mode Transition setting:
