Booting Manually
By default, the switch automatically boots; however, you can configure it to manually boot.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Review the “Boot Process” section on page 2-2.
DETAILED STEPS
To disable manual booting, use the no boot manual global configuration command.
EXAMPLE
Switch(config)# boot manual
Switch(config)# end
Booting a Specific Software Image
By default, the switch attempts to automatically boot the system using information in the BOOT
environment variable. If this variable is not set, the switch attempts to load and execute the first
executable image it can by performing a recursive, depth-first search throughout the flash file system. In
a depth-first search of a directory, each encountered subdirectory is completely searched before
continuing the search in the original directory. However, you can specify a specific image to boot.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Review the “Boot Process” section on page 2-2.

The boot manual global command changes the setting of
the MANUAL_BOOT environment variable.
The next time you reboot the system, the switch is in boot
loader mode, as shown by the switch: prompt. To boot the
system, use the boot filesystem:/file-url boot loader
command.
• For filesystem:, use flash: for the system board flash
device.
• For file-url, specify the path (directory) and the name of
the bootable image.
Filenames and directory names are case sensitive.
