Parameters
file file-url: Specifies the file path, a string of 1 to 63 characters. If you enter a relative path, the system
automatically converts it to an absolute path. The absolute path can contain up to 63 characters. The file
name uses the drive:/file-name format or the file-name format, where:
• The drive argument specifies the storage medium where the file is saved.The value for the drive
argument is flash0 or cfa0, depending on the device model.
• The file-name argument specifies the file name, which typically uses the .bin extension.
main: Specifies the file as the main system software image. The main system software image has higher
priority than the backup system software image at startup.
backup: Specifies the file as the backup system software image. The backup system software image is
used at startup only if the main system software image is unavailable.
Usage guidelines
To execute the boot-loader command successfully, make sure you have saved the image file to the root
directory of the storage medium on the device.
