set variable value
Use one of these keywords for variable and value:
MANUAL_BOOT—Decides whether the switch automatically or manually boots.
Valid values are 1, yes, 0, and no. If it is set to no or 0, the boot loader attempts to
automatically boot the system. If it is set to anything else, you must manually boot
the switch from the boot loader mode.
BOOT filesystem:/file-url—A semicolon-separated list of executable files to try to
load and execute when automatically booting.
If the BOOT environment variable is not set, the system attempts to load and execute
the first executable image it can find by using a recursive, depth-first search through
the flash: file system. If the BOOT variable is set but the specified images cannot be
loaded, the system attempts to boot the first bootable file that it can find in the flash
file system.
ENABLE_BREAK—Decides whether the automatic boot process can be
interrupted by using the Break key on the console.
Valid values are 1, yes, on, 0, no, and off. If it is set to 1, yes, or on, you can interrupt
the automatic boot process by pressing the Break key on the console after the flash
file system has initialized.
HELPER filesystem:/file-url—A semicolon-separated list of loadable files to
dynamically load during the boot loader initialization. Helper files extend or patch
the functionality of the boot loader.
PS1 prompt—A string that is used as the command-line prompt in boot loader mode.
CONFIG_FILE flash:/file-url—The filename that Cisco IOS uses to read and write
a nonvolatile copy of the system configuration.
BAUD rate—The rate in bits per second (b/s) used for the console. The Cisco IOS
software inherits the baud rate setting from the boot loader and continues to use this
value unless the configuration file specifies another setting. The range is from 0 to
4294967295 b/s. Valid values are 50, 75, 110, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2000,
2400, 3600, 4800, 7200, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400, 56000, 57600, 115200,
and 128000.
The most commonly used values are 300, 1200, 2400, 9600, 19200, 57600, and
115200.
HELPER_CONFIG_FILE filesystem:/file-url—The name of the configuration file
to be used by the Cisco IOS helper image. If this is not set, the file specified by the
CONFIG_FILE environment variable is used by all versions of Cisco IOS that are
loaded, including the helper image. This variable is used only for internal
development and testing.
