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.
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.
During operation, the device allows you to load settings from the following
sources:

the local non-volatile memory

a file in the connected network (setting on delivery)

a binary file and

the firmware (restoration of the configuration on delivery).
