address and default gateway information) for the Catalyst 2928 switch by using a variety of automatic
and manual methods. It also describes how to modify the switch startup configuration.

Understanding the Boot Process
To start your switch, you need to follow the procedures in the
Getting Started Guide or the
hardware
installation guide for installing and powering on the switch and setting up the initial switch configuration
(IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, secret and Telnet passwords, and so forth).
The normal boot process involves the operation of the boot loader software, which performs these
activities:
•
Performs low-level CPU initialization. It initializes the CPU registers, which control where physical
memory is mapped, its quantity, its speed, and so forth.
•
Performs power-on self-test (POST) for the CPU subsystem. It tests the CPU DRAM and the portion
of the flash device that makes up the flash file system.
•
Initializes the flash file system on the system board.
•
Loads a default operating system software image into memory and boots up the switch.
