This object configures whether a switch reload triggers the Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP) process, choosing between a normalReload that skips BMP and a bmpReload that initiates it and upgrades the image and configuration files based on the DHCP or BOOTP offer received. It lets an admin control whether a device reload should attempt to re-provision itself automatically from the network versus booting with its existing local image and config. A data center operator staging a new switch would leave this at its default bmpReload so the switch pulls its firmware and config automatically on first boot.
