Set [B]oot Load Mode
Allows the user to determine how the stack should boot up. There
are two boot load options: local and remote.
Local
If you choose the local boot load mode, the stack boots
using the management software that is saved in the
stack’s memory. This is the default boot load mode. If you
are going to use the local boot load mode, you do not
need to configure any of the other parameters on the
Bootstrap Configuration Menu.
