USB Boot Configuration

706
G8264 Command Reference for ENOS 8.4
USB Boot allows you to boot the switch with a software image file, boot file or
configuration file that resides on a USB drive inserted into the USB port. Use the
following command to enable or disable USB Boot:
[no] boot usbboot enable
Command mode: Global configuration
Note: Not available in stacking.
When enabled, the switch checks the USB port when it is rebooted. If a USB drive is
inserted into the port, the switch checks the drive for software and image files. If a
valid file is present on the USB drive, the switch loads the file and boots using the
file.
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_replace2_OS.img

The switch replaces the current software image2 with the new image and boots
with the new image.
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.
You also can copy files to and from the USB drive. See "USB Copy" on page 678.
