the following order:
1. If flash is enabled, start an image from the Cayman 2E-H code
flash memory, using the configured image number; else
2. If ip is enabled, load an image via IP TFTP using the configured
IP server, IP gateway, netmask and filename; else
3. If bootp is enabled, load an image from a BOOTP server on your
IP network.
The Cayman 2E-H alternates steps 2 and 3 at 10-second intervals for
the number of attempts specified in the
trying each download source that is enabled.
bootp { on | off }
The bootp command enables/disables BOOTP downloading. If
BOOTP is enabled, the Cayman 2E-H broadcasts a BOOTP request. It
will use the response as the source of its IP address, the server and
gateway IP addresses, and the name of the file to TFTP-download.
The EPROM recognizes the CMU and RFC-1048 "vendor extensions"
to the basic BOOTP format, and uses the netmask and gateway
address provided by BOOTP if available.

the Cayman 2E-H should download.
