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. D-Link recommends that you use these commands only when working with D-Link to diagnose a system issue. In particular, commands that change boot parameters can interfere with a switch’s ability to boot successfully.

This chapter presents boot prompt commands alphabetically. Use the following table to locate commands in this chapter based on their use.
