Initial Switch Configuration

This chapter describes the command-line interface (CLI) and CLI command modes of Cisco Nexus 5000

Series switches. It includes the following sections:

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches have the following images:

• BIOS and loader images combined in one file

• Kickstart image

• System image that includes a BIOS image that can be upgraded

The switch has flash memory that consists of two separate flash parts:

• A 2 MB flash part holds two BIOS and loader images.

• A 1 GB flash part holds configuration files, kickstart images, systems images, and other files.

The upgradeable BIOS and the golden BIOS are programmed onto the 2 MB flash part. You cannot upgrade

the golden BIOS.

When you download a new pair of kickstart and system images, you also get a new BIOS image because it

is included in the system image. You can use the install all command to upgrade the kickstart, system, and

upgradeable BIOS images.

A Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch starts its boot process as soon as its power cord is connected to an A/C

source. The switch does not have a power switch.
