Field Description
BOOT path-list Displays a semicolon-separated list of executable files to load and execute when automatically booting.
• If the BOOT environment variable is not set, the system attempts to load and execute the first
executable image it can find by using a recursive, depth-first search through the flash file system.
In a depth-first search of a directory, each encountered subdirectory is completely searched before
continuing the search in the original directory.
• If the BOOT variable is set but the specified images cannot be loaded, the system attempts to boot
the first bootable file that it can find in the flash file system.
Config file Displays the filename that Cisco IOS uses to read and write a nonvolatile copy of the system
configuration.
Private Config file Displays the filename that Cisco IOS uses to read and write a nonvolatile copy of the system
configuration.
Enable Break Displays whether a break during booting is enabled or disabled. If it is set to yes, on, or 1, you can
interrupt the automatic boot process by pressing the Break key on the console after the flash file system
is initialized.
Manual Boot Displays whether the switch automatically or manually boots. If it is set to no or 0, the boot loader
attempts to automatically boot the system. If it is set to anything else, you must manually boot the switch
from the boot loader mode.
Helper path-list Displays a semicolon separated list of loadable files to dynamically load during the boot loader
initialization. Helper files extend or patch the functionality of the boot loader.
