21 BOOT PROMPT COMMANDS

Boot prompt commands enable you to perform basic tasks, including

booting a system image file, from the boot prompt (boot>). A CLI session

enters the boot prompt if MSS does not boot successfully or you

intentionally interrupt the boot process. To interrupt the boot process,

press q followed by Enter (return).

CAUTION: Generally, boot prompt commands are used only for

troubleshooting. 3Com recommends that you use these commands only

when working with 3Com Technical Support to diagnose a system issue.

In particular, commands that change boot parameters can interfere with

a WX switch’s ability to boot successfully.
