Bof Processing Control - Alcatel-Lucent 7450 Basic System Configuration Manual

If a location is not specified, the BOF is saved to the default compact flash drive (cf3:) on the active
CPM (typically the CPM in slot A, but the CPM in slot B could also be acting as the active CPM). The
slot name is not case-sensitive. You can use upper or lowercase "A" or "B".
Command usage:
To save the BOF to a compact flash drive on the standby CPM (for example, the redundant (standby)
CPM is installed in slot B), specify -A or -B option.
Command usage:
The slot name is not case-sensitive. You can use upper or lowercase "A" or "B".
The bof save and show bof commands allow you to save to or read from the compact flash of the
standby CPM. Use the show card command to determine the active and standby CPM (A or B).
