C a u t i o n

For a given reboot, the switch automatically reboots from the startup-config

 

file assigned to the flash (primary or secondary) being used for the current

 

reboot. The startup-defaultcommand can be used to set a boot configuration

 

policy. This means that both the flash image and one of the three configuration

 

files can be specified as the default boot policy. For more information on

 

multiple configuration files and how they are used, see “Multiple

 

Configuration Files” in the “Switch Memory and Configuration” chapter in

 

this guide.

 

 

Setting the Default Flash for Boot

You can set which flash image to boot from as the default image on boot by using this command:

Syntax: boot set-default flash <primary secondary>

Sets the flash image to boot from on the next boot. primary: Boots the primary flash image. secondary: Boots the secondary flash image.

Figure 15-24shows an example of the output when the command is used to set the boot default to secondary flash.
