Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3030 Cisco IOS Commands

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.

Syntax Description

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.

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. For more information, see

Appendix A, "Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3030 Boot Loader Commands."
