Modifying the Startup Configuration
To return to the default setting, use the
no boot config-file
global configuration command.
Booting Up Manually
By default, the switch automatically boots up; however, you can configure it to manually boot up.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch to manually boot up
during the next bootup cycle:
To disable manual booting up, use the
no boot manual
global configuration command.
Booting Up 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 with which to
boot up the switch.
