bof
Syntax bof
Context <ROOT>
Description This command creates or edits the boot option file (BOF) for the specified local storage device.
A BOF file specifies where the system searches for runtime images, configuration files, and other
operational parameters during system initialization.
BOF parameters can be modified. Changes can be saved to a specified compact flash. The BOF must
be located in the root directory of either an internal or external compact flash local to the system and
have the mandatory filename of bof.cfg.
When modifications are made to in-memory parameters that are currently in use or operating, the
changes are effective immediately. For example, if the console-speed is changed, the change takes
place immediately.
Only one entry of the BOF configuration command statement can be saved once the statement has
been found to be syntactically correct.
No default boot option file exists.
