Will reboot now
Solved! Go to Solution.
I tried this and it will run or a few minutes and then stop and then the switch will reboot. Funny thing I noticed, I have tried 3 different USB drives and the process runs longer on 1 of the 3 USB flash drives , but they all do stop and the switch reboots. Prior to using them for the switch I formatted them using Fat32. I have tried using FAT and NTFS and the drive will not seen rom the switch.
Found the issue:
set MANUAL_BOOT=no
set SWITCH_IGNORE_STARTUP_CFG=0
I added the commands above and it still does not work. I am out of ideas how to fix this. I do not understand why I cannot access flash:
switch: dir flash:
media drive flash: not present.
Send the complete output to the command "set".

Contact Cisco TAC and get the switch RMA-ed.
I was able to get the switch RMA'd. Thanks to all that replied and tried to assist me with this issue.
I believe that you didn't use the right command, do the following:
unset set DEFAULT_ROUTER
set DEFAULT_GATEWAY 10.96.56.17
wish that will help
