Scheduling a Reload of the Software Image
Scheduling a Reload of the Software Image
You can schedule a reload of the software image to occur on the switch at a later time (for example, late
at night or during the weekend when the switch is used less), or you can synchronize a reload
network-wide (for example, to perform a software upgrade on all switches in the network).
Note A scheduled reload must take place within approximately 24 days.
MANUAL_BOOT set MANUAL_BOOT yes
Decides whether the switch automatically or
manually boots up.
Valid values are 1, yes, 0, and no. If it is set to no
or 0, the boot loader attempts to automatically
boot up the system. If it is set to anything else,
you must manually boot up the switch from the
boot loader mode.
boot manual
Enables manually booting up the switch during
the next boot cycle and changes the setting of the
MANUAL_BOOT environment variable.
The next time you reboot the system, the switch is
in boot loader mode. To boot up the system, use
the boot flash:filesystem:/file-url boot loader
command, and specify the name of the bootable
image.
CONFIG_FILE set CONFIG_FILE flash:/file-url
Changes the filename that Cisco IOS uses to read
and write a nonvolatile copy of the system
configuration.
boot config-file flash:/file-url
Specifies the filename that Cisco IOS uses to read
and write a nonvolatile copy of the system
configuration. This command changes the
CONFIG_FILE environment variable.

Changes the member number of a stack member.
switch current-stack-member-number renumber
new-stack-member-number
