Specifying the Secondary Boot File

•
Specifying the Secondary Configuration Path

To specify the secondary boot file that the CSS uses when the primary boot
configuration fails, use the secondary boot-file command. Enter the boot file as
an unquoted text string with no spaces and a maximum of 64 characters.
To specify the secondary boot filename, enter:
(config-boot)# secondary boot-file ap0720001
To display a list of secondary boot filenames, enter:
(config-boot)# secondary boot-file ?
To remove the secondary boot file, enter:
(config-boot)# no secondary boot-file
Use the secondary boot-type command to specify the secondary boot
configuration.
The syntax for this boot mode command is:
secondary boot-type [boot-via-disk|boot-via-ftp ftp_record|
boot-via-network ftp_record]
The options and variables for this command are as follows:
boot-via-disk - Boots the CSS from a software version that resides on the
•
CSS disk.
boot-via-ftp ftp_record - Downloads an ADI file containing CSS software
•
that you want to install on the CSS disk. The CSS accesses the ADI or GZIP
file containing the CSS software from an FTP server, copies the file to the
disk, and unpacks it. The CSS then boots from the disk.
