Appendix A IE 3000 Switch Bootloader Commands boot boot Use the boot bootloader command to load and boot up an executable image and to enter the command-line interface. boot [-post | -n | -p | flag] filesystem:/file-url ... Syntax Description -post -n -p filesystem: /file-url (Optional) Run the loaded image with an extended or comprehensive power-on self-test (POST). Using this keyword causes POST to take longer to complete. (Optional) Pause for the Cisco IOS debugger immediately after launching. (Optional) Pause for the JTAG debugger right after loading the image. Alias for a flash file system. Use flash: for the system board flash device. (Optional) Path (directory) and name of a bootable image. Separate image names with a semicolon. Defaults The switch attempts to automatically boot up the system by using information in the BOOT environment variable. If this variable is not set, the switch attempts to load and execute the first executable image it can by performing a recursive, depth-first search throughout 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. Command Modes Bootloader Command History Release 12.2(44)EX Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines When you enter the boot command without any arguments, the switch attempts to automatically boot up the system by using the information in the BOOT environment variable, if any. If you supply an image name for the file-url variable, the boot command attempts to boot up the specified image. When you set bootloader boot command options, they are executed immediately and apply only to the current bootloader session. These settings are not saved for the next bootup operation. Filenames and directory names are case sensitive. Examples This example shows how to boot up the switch using the new-image.bin image: switch: boot flash:/new-images/new-image.bin After entering this command, you are prompted to start the setup program.
