Note Make sure that the file size of the image file you copied to boot flash memory matches the image file size on the server.

Reloading the Switch Router

When the configuration register is set for manual booting, issuing the reload command causes the system to enter ROM monitor mode, where you enter the boot command and the name of the system image to use. To perform this procedure, you must be connected to the console port, which provides access to the switch router when in ROM monitor mode. For automatic booting, you can issue the reload command from an Ethernet connection to the route processor.

Note This procedure assumes that you need to change the boot field in the configuration register from its default value so that the system reverts to ROM monitor mode when you issue the reload command.
