Square brackets [ ] denote an optional element. In the following example, the element abc is not
required, but you can specify it if you choose:
If a minus option is followed by a colon (for example, [-s:]) you must provide an argument for the
option.
A term in italics means that you must fill in the appropriate information. In the following example,
you replace the term in italics with the interface type you are using:
–
Boots the first image in flash memory.
–
flash:/slot0 [name] boots the Cisco IOS software from flash memory.
The above command is not available on the Cisco VG224.
filename tftpserver boots from the specified file over the network from the specified TFTP
–
server. For example:
boot cvg224-i-mz 172.15.19.11
filename boots from the boothelper image because it does not recognize the device ID. This
–
form of the command is used to netboot the image named filename.
The Cisco VG224 does not have a dedicated boothelper image ([rx]boot) as used by some other
Cisco routers. With the Cisco VG224, the first image in flash memory is invoked as the default
boothelper image anytime the ROM monitor does not recognize the device ID in the boot command.
