or move a file to change the path of it to the root directory.
• To execute the boot-loader command successfully, save the file to be used at the next device boot in the
root directory of the storage media on a member device.
• The names of the files to be used at the next boot of the master and slave switches may be different, bu

the versions of the files must be the same; otherwise, a slave switch reboots by using the master's boo
t
file and joins the IRF virtual device again.

The system can automatically copy a boot file saved on the Flash of the master of an IRF virtual device to
a specified member switch or all member switches, and specify the boot file as the boot file to be used
at the next boot of the member switches. This feature simplifies the upgrade steps and improves
management efficiency.
