When a device boots, it first uses the application file with the main attribute. If the boot
operation fails, the device selects the application file with the backup attribute to try
again. If the boot operation fails again, the device displays an error message and
repeats the above procedure.
Note:
If the device boots failed with an application file with main attribute, it will display an
alert message.
If the specified application file does not exist, the switch will automatically choose an
existing valid application file to boot.
