Field
Description
BOOT path-list
Displays a semicolon separated list of executable files to try to load and execute when
automatically booting.
If the BOOT environment variable is not set, the system attempts to load and execute
the first executable image it can find by using a recursive, depth-first search through 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.
If the BOOT variable is set but the specified images cannot be loaded, the system
attempts to boot the first bootable file that it can find in the flash file system.
Config file
Displays the filename that Cisco IOS uses to read and write a nonvolatile copy of the
system configuration.
Private Config file
Displays the filename that Cisco IOS uses to read and write a nonvolatile copy of the
system configuration.
Enable Break
Displays whether a break during booting is enabled or disabled. If it is set to yes, on, or
1, you can interrupt the automatic boot process by pressing the Break key on the console
after the flash file system is initialized.
Manual Boot
Displays whether the switch automatically or manually boots. If it is set to no or 0, the
boot loader attempts to automatically boot the system. If it is set to anything else, you
must manually boot the switch from the boot loader mode.
Helper path-list
Displays a semicolon separated list of loadable files to dynamically load during the boot
loader initialization. Helper files extend or patch the functionality of the boot loader.
NVRAM/Config file buffer size
Displays the buffer size that Cisco IOS uses to hold a copy of the configuration file in
memory. The configuration file cannot be larger than the buffer size allocation.
