D-Link DWS-1008 CLI Manual 517
create
Creates a new boot profile.
Syntax: create
Defaults: The new boot profile has the same settings as the currently active boot profile by
default.
Access: Boot prompt.
Usage: A DWS-1008 switch can have up to four boot profiles. The boot profiles are stored in
slots, numbered 0 through 3. When you create a new profile, the system uses the next available
slot for the profile. If all four slots already contain profiles and you try to create a fifth profile, the
switch displays a message advising you to change one of the existing profiles instead.
To make a new boot profile the currently active boot profile, use the next command. To change
boot parameter settings, use the change command.
Examples: The following command creates a new boot profile in slot 1 on a switch that currently
has only one boot profile, in slot 0:
boot> create
BOOT Index: 1
BOOT TYPE: c
DEVICE: boot1:
FILENAME: default
FLAGS: 00000000
OPTIONS: run=nos;boot=0
