bootimg
argument is only valid with the
bootp

load the image file from the bootp server. This is useful when a new switch is placed on a
network and the IT policies are set to load a specific image which is supported and tested
by IT personnel.
Likewise, the
bootcfg
argument is valid only with the bootp type. This option allows the
switch to load the configuration file from the bootp server. This is useful when a new
switch is put on a network and the specific configurations are loaded from a centralized
bootp server
