• If you do not specify a network configuration filename,
the Cisco IOS software uses the default filename
Example:
network-confg. If you omit the address, the device
uses the broadcast address.
Device(config)# boot network tftp:hostfile1
• You can specify more than one network configuration
file. The software tries them in order entered until it
loads one. This procedure can be useful for keeping
files with different configuration information loaded
on a network server.
