G8264 Application Guide for ENOS 8.4
Command mode: Global configuration
When enabled, when the switch is reset/reloaded, it checks the USB port. If a USB
drive is inserted into the port, the switch checks the root directory on the USB drive
for software and image files. If a valid file is present, the switch loads the file and
boots using the file.
Note: The following file types are supported: FAT32, NTFS (read‐only), EXT2, and
EXT3.
The following list describes the valid file names, and describes the switch behavior
when it recognizes them. The file names must be exactly as shown, or the switch
will not recognize them.
RSG8264_Boot.img
The switch replaces the current boot image with the new image, and boots with
the new image.
RSG8264_OS.img
The switch boots with the new software image. The existing images are not
affected.
RSG8264_replace1_OS.img
The switch replaces the current software image1 with the new image, and boots
with the new image. RSG8264_replace1_OS.img takes precedence over
RSG8264_OS.img.
RSG8264_replace2_OS.img
The switch replaces the current software image2 with the new image, and boots
with the new image. RSG8264_replace2_OS.img takes precedence over
RSG8264_OS.img.
RSG8264.cfg
The switch boots with the new configuration file. The existing configuration files
(active and backup) are not affected.
RSG8264_replace.cfg
The switch replaces the active configuration file with the new file, and boots
with the new file. This file takes precedence over any other configuration files
that may be present on the USB drive.
If more than one valid file is present, the switch loads all valid files and boots with
them. For example, you may simultaneously load a new boot file, image file, and
configuration file from the USB drive.
The switch ignores any files that do not match the valid file names or that have the
wrong format.
