Chapter 2 Catalyst 3560 Switch Cisco IOS Commands boot system boot system Use the boot system global configuration command to specify the Cisco IOS image to load during the next boot cycle. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting. boot system filesystem:/file-url ... no boot system Syntax Description filesystem: /file-url Alias for a flash file system. Use flash: for the system board flash device. The path (directory) and name of a bootable image. Separate image names with a semicolon. Defaults The switch attempts to automatically boot 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 Global configuration Command History Release 12.1(19)EA1 Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines Filenames and directory names are case sensitive. If you are using the archive download-sw privileged EXEC command to maintain system images, you never need to use the boot system command. The boot system command is automatically manipulated to load the downloaded image. This command changes the setting of the BOOT environment variable.
