5.13.2.1.1 File Management Commands
bof
Syntax bof
Context <root>
Description This command creates or edits the boot option file (BOF) for the specified local storage
device.
A BOF file specifies where the system searches for runtime images, configuration files, and
other operational parameters during system initialization.
BOF parameters can be modified. Changes can be saved to a specified compact flash. The
BOF must be located in the root directory of either an internal or external compact flash local
to the system and have the mandatory filename of bof.cfg.
When modifications are made to in-memory parameters that are currently in use or operating,
the changes are effective immediately. For example, if the IP address of the CSM
Management port is changed, the change takes place immediately.
Only one entry of the BOF configuration command statement can be saved once the
statement has been found to be syntactically correct.
When opening an existing BOF that is not the BOF used in the most recent boot, a message
is issued notifying the user that the parameters will not affect the operation of the node.
The pound (#) sign is used at the beginning of the File syntax. Using the command file type
bof.cfg displays the # character as a comment delimiter at the top of the raw file. No default
boot option file exists. The router boots with the factory default boot sequence and options.
Default n/a
save
Syntax save [cflash-id]
Context bof
Description This command uses the boot option parameters currently in memory and writes them from
the boot option file to the specified compact flash.
The BOF must be located in the directory of the compact flash drives local to the system and
have the mandatory filename of bof.cfg.
The BOF is saved to the compact flash drive associated with the active CSM. The slot name
is not case-sensitive. You can use uppercase or lowercase “A” or “B”.
