Description
This command creates or edits the boot option file (BOF) for the specified local storage device.
A BOF file specifies where the system searches for runtime images, configuration files, and other
operational parameters during system initialization.
BOF parameters can be modified. Changes can be saved to a specified compact flash. The BOF must be
located in the root directory of either an internal or external compact flash local to the system and have the
mandatory filename of bof.cfg.
When modifications are made to in-memory parameters that are currently in use or operating, the changes
are effective immediately. For example, if the IP address of the management port is changed, the change
takes place immediately.
Only one entry of the BOF configuration command statement can be saved once the statement has been
found to be syntactically correct.
When opening an existing BOF that is not the BOF used in the most recent boot, a message is issued
notifying the user that the parameters will not affect the operation of the node.
No default boot option file exists. The router boots with the factory default boot sequence and options.
