Catalyst 2960 Switch Command Reference
2-304
Description
Displays a semicolon separated list of executable files to try to load and execute when
automatically booting up.
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. In a depth-first search of a directory, each encountered subdirectory
is completely searched before continuing the search in the original directory.
If the BOOT variable is set but the specified images cannot be loaded, the system
attempts to boot up with the first bootable file that it can find in the flash file system.
Displays the filename that Cisco IOS uses to read and write a nonvolatile copy of the
system configuration.
Displays the filename that Cisco IOS uses to read and write a nonvolatile copy of the
system configuration.
Displays whether a break during booting up is enabled or disabled. If it is set to yes, on,
or 1, you can interrupt the automatic bootup process by pressing the Break key on the
console after the flash file system is initialized.
Displays whether the switch automatically or manually boots up. If it is set to no or 0,
the bootloader attempts to automatically boot up the system. If it is set to anything else,
you must manually boot up the switch from the bootloader mode.
Displays a semicolon separated list of loadable files to dynamically load during the
bootloader initialization. Helper files extend or patch the functionality of the
bootloader.
Displays the buffer size that Cisco IOS uses to hold a copy of the configuration file in
memory. The configuration file cannot be larger than the buffer size allocation.
