For a given reboot, the switch automatically reboots from the startup-config
file assigned to the flash (primary or secondary) being used for the current
reboot. The startup-default command can be used to set a boot configuration
policy. This means that both the flash image and one of the three configuration
files can be specified as the default boot policy. For more information on
multiple configuration files and how they are used, see "Multiple
Configuration Files" in the "Switch Memory and Configuration" chapter in
this guide.

Setting the Default Flash for Boot

You can set which flash image to boot from as the default image on boot by
using this command:
Syntax: boot set-default flash <primary | secondary>
Sets the flash image to boot from on the next boot.
primary: Boots the primary flash image.
secondary: Boots the secondary flash image.
Figure 15-24 shows an example of the output when the command is used to
set the boot default to secondary flash.
