If a location is not specified, the BOF is saved to the default compact flash drive (cf3:) on the active
CPM (typically the CPM in slot A, but the CPM in slot B could also be acting as the active CPM). The
slot name is not case-sensitive. You can use upper or lowercase “A” or “B”.
Command usage:
• bof save — Saves the BOF to the default drive (cf3:) on the active CPM (either in slot A or B).
• bof save cf3: — Saves the BOF to cf3: on the active CPM (either in slot A or B).
To save the BOF to a compact flash drive on the standby CPM (for example, the redundant (standby)
CPM is installed in slot B), specify -A or -B option.
Command usage:
• bof save cf3-A: — Saves the BOF to cf3: on CPM in slot A whether it is active or standby.
• bof save cf3-B: — Saves the BOF to cf3: on CPM in slot B whether it is active or standby.
The slot name is not case-sensitive. You can use upper or lowercase “A” or “B”.
The bof save and show bof commands allow you to save to or read from the compact flash of the
standby CPM. Use the show card command to determine the active and standby CPM (A or B).
Default Saves must be explicitly executed. The BOF is saved to cf3: if a location is not specified.
Parameters flash-id — The compact flash ID where the bof.cfg is to be saved.
Values cf1:, cf1-A:, cf1-B:, cf2:, cf2-A:, cf2-B:, cf3:, cf3-A:, cf3-B:
