Be sure that you have made a backup of the configuration files before you begin this procedure. The loader> prompt is different from the regular switch# prompt. • The CLI command completion feature does not work at this prompt and may result in undesired errors. You must type the command exactly as you want the command to appear. • The ICMP stack is not supported, so you cannot ping the TFTP server. • The TFTP server must be configured with the IP address of the default gateway (rather than any other IP address on the defined subnet. Tip Use the help command at the loader> prompt to display a list of commands available at this prompt or to obtain more information about a specific command in that list.

The switch(boot)# prompt indicates that you have a usable Kickstart image. Issue the init system command at the switch(boot)# prompt. switch(boot)# init system Caution Be sure that you have made a backup of the configuration files before you issue this command.
