Booting Manually
By default, the switch automatically boots up; however, you can configure it to manually boot up.
This command only works properly from a standalone switch.
Note
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch to manually boot up
during the next boot cycle:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal

boot manual
Step 3
end
Step 4
show boot
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
To disable manual booting, use the no boot manual global configuration command.
Booting a Specific Software Image
By default, the switch attempts to automatically boot up 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 up.
