Specifying the Secondary Boot Configuration Chapter 2 Specifying the CSS Boot Configuration Specifying the Primary Configuration Path An alternate configuration path allows multiple CSSs to use the same boot image while keeping their configuration information in separate directories. Use the primary config-path command to specify the alternate path to a network configuration for the network boot method. Note that the CSS must be able to access the configuration path through an FTP server as defined in the FTP record for the network boot method. When using an alternate configuration path, make sure the path leads to a directory containing the script, log, and information subdirectories, and to the startup-config file. These subdirectories must contain the files in the corresponding subdirectories of the unzipped boot image. First, create these subdirectories on the FTP server, then copy the files from the boot image to the subdirectories. Enter the configuration pathname as an unquoted text string with no spaces and a maximum of 64 characters. To configure the primary configuration path, enter: (config-boot)# primary config-path f:/bootdir/ To remove the primary network configuration path, enter: (config-boot)# no primary config-path Specifying the Secondary Boot Configuration You can configure a secondary location from which the CSS accesses the boot image when the primary boot configuration fails. Use the secondary command to specify the secondary boot configuration. The CSS uses the secondary boot configuration when the primary boot configuration fails. The options for this boot mode command are as follows: • secondary boot-file - Specifies the secondary boot file • secondary boot-type - Specifies the boot method: local disk or FTP • secondary config-path - Specifies the path to a network configuration using FTP Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide 2-6 OL-5647-02
