Chapter 3 Assigning the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway
Modifying the Startup Configuration
To disable manual booting, use the
no boot manual
global configuration command.
Booting a Specific Software Image
By default, the switch attempts to automatically boot up the system using information in the BOOT
environment variable. If this variable is not set, the switch attempts to load and execute the first
executable image it can by performing a recursive, depth-first search throughout the flash file system. In
a depth-first search of a directory, each encountered subdirectory is completely searched before
continuing the search in the original directory. However, you can specify a specific image to boot up.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch to boot up a specific
image during the next boot cycle:
Step 4
show boot
Verify your entries.
The
boot manual
global command changes the setting of the
MANUAL_BOOT environment variable.
The next time you reboot the system, the switch is in boot loader
mode, shown by the
switch:
prompt. To boot up the system, use the
boot
filesystem
:/
file-url
boot loader command.
