set boot system

Use this command to set the firmware image the switch loads at startup.

Syntax

set boot system filename

Parameters

filename

Specifies the name of the firmware image file.

Defaults

None.

Mode

Switch command, read‐write.

Usage

This command allows you to set the firmware image to be loaded at startup. You can choose to reset the system to use the new firmware image immediately, or you can choose to only specify the new image to be loaded the next time the switch is rebooted.

You can use the dir command to display the “Active” image and the “Boot” image, which will be the image loaded at the next system reboot.

Note: If you are changing the firmware image to a version earlier than the current version, refer to Reverting to a Previous Image” on page 3-34for the correct steps to follow.

Example

This example shows how to set the boot firmware image file to be used at the next reboot of the system, by answering “n” to the prompt. The dir command is then executed to display the Active and Boot images.

C3(su)->set boot system c3_06.03.03.0007
