Chapter 8, “The Boot Options Menu,” describes the use of the primary and alternate switch images,
how to load a new software image, and how to reset the software to factory defaults.
Chapter 9, “The Maintenance Menu,” shows how to generate and access a dump of critical switch
state information, how to clear it, and how to clear part or all of the forwarding database.
Appendix A, “BLADE OS Syslog Messages,” shows a listing of syslog messages.
Appendix B, “BLADE OS SNMP Agent,” lists the Management Interface Bases (MIBs) supported
in the switch software.
“Index” includes pointers to the description of the key words used throughout the book.
