Starting and Configuring Telnet
3-32 Basic Configuration
Defaults
None.
Mode
Switch command, read-write.
Usage
This command allows you to set the firmware image to be loaded at startup. You can choose to
reset the system to use the new firmware image immediately, or you can choose to only specify the
new image to be loaded the next time the switch is rebooted.
You can use the dir command to display the “Active” image and the “Boot” image, which will be
the image loaded at the next system reboot.
Example
This example shows how to set the boot firmware image file to be used at the next reboot of the
system, by answering “n” to the prompt. The dir command is then executed to display the Active
and Boot images.
C3(su)->set boot system c3_06.61.03.0007
This command can optionally reset the system to boot the new image.
