Boot Prompt Commands
Boot prompt commands enable you to perform basic tasks, including booting a system image file,
from the boot prompt (boot>). A CLI session enters the boot prompt if MSS does not boot
successfully or you intentionally interrupt the boot process. To interrupt the boot process, press q
followed by Enter (return).
This chapter presents boot prompt commands alphabetically. Use the following table to locate
commands in this chapter based on their use.
autoboot
Displays or changes the state of the autoboot option. The autoboot option controls whether an MX
automatically boots a system image after initializing the hardware, following a system reset or
power cycle.
Syntax autoboot [ON | on | OFF | off]
!
Caution
Generally, boot prompt commands are used only for troubleshooting. Trapeze
Networks recommends that you use these commands only when working with
Trapeze to diagnose a system issue. In particular, commands that change boot
parameters can interfere with an MX ability to boot successfully.
