An Switch 8800 Family series routing switch supports system switchover, both its
active and standby SRPCs have an application program system. You can operate
on the programs on both SRPCs. But when you specify a bootstrap program on
the standby SRPC, the URL of the program must begin with "slot[No.]#[flash: |
cf:]/", where, [No.] is the slot number of the standby SRPC and [flash: | cf:] is the
name of the equipment, flash card or CF card. For example, if the slot number of
the standby SRPC is 1, the URL of the 8500.app program under the root directory
on the standby SRPC must be "slot1#flash:/8500.app".
Example
# Specify flash:/s8500-vrp310-r1262.app as the current primary bootstrap
program of the active SRPC.
<SW8800> boot boot-loader primary flash:/s8500-vrp310-r1262.app
The specified file will be booted next time!.
# Specify slot1#flash:/s8500-vrp310-r1262.app as the current primary bootstrap
program on the standby SRPC in slot 1.
