Displaying the boot preference
3
By default, the device first attempts to boot from the image stored in its primary flash, then its
secondary flash, and then from a TFTP server. You can modify this booting sequence at the global
CONFIG level of the CLI using the boot system… command.
To initiate an immediate boot from the CLI, enter one of the boot system… commands.
NOTE
If you are booting the device from a TFTP server through a fiber connection, use the following
command: boot system tftp ip-address filename fiber-port.
Displaying the boot preference
Use the show boot-preference command to display the boot sequence in the startup config and
running config files. The boot sequence displayed is also identified as either user-configured or the
default.
The following example shows the default boot sequence preference.
PowerConnect# show boot-preference
Boot system preference (Configured):

configuration files between the devices and a TFTP server on the network.
