Chapter 2 Specifying the CSS Boot Configuration Showing the Boot Configuration Showing the Boot Configuration Use the show boot-config command to display the boot configuration. For example: (config-boot)# show boot-config BOOT CONFIG ip address 172.16.36.58 subnet mask 255.0.0.0 primary boot-file ap0720001 primary boot-type boot-via-disk Booting the CSS from a Network Drive Network booting enables you to boot the CSS from a network drive using a .zip file of the CSS software version located on www.cisco.com. When you configure the CSS for network boot, the CSS must contain an operational disk (hard or Flash). Use your customer login and password to access www.cisco.com. From this location, you can access the page listing the network boot .zip file versions of CSS software. Click an image to download the software. Note Be aware of the following network boot restrictions: a network boot is not supported on UNIX workstations, and the War-FTP daemon is not supported for network-booting the system software. In addition, network booting does not support the use of core dumps from the CSS. Perform a network boot if you want multiple CSSs to use the same boot image while keeping their own configuration information. Provide an alternate path for the location of the configuration information. This information must exist on the same network file system as the boot image. When using an alternate configuration path, make sure the path leads to a directory containing the script, log, and information subdirectories. These subdirectories must contain the files in the corresponding subdirectories in the boot image. Create these subdirectories, then copy the files from the boot image.
