Table 2-15 show boot Field Descriptions
Field Description
BOOT path-list Displays a semicolon separated list of executable files to try to load and execute when
automatically booting up.
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.
