Default level
3: Manage level
Parameters
file file-url: Specifies a file name, a string of 1 to 63 characters. If you enter a relative path here, the
system automatically converts it to an absolute path. The absolute path should contain no more than 63
characters; otherwise, the command cannot be successfully executed. The file name is in the format of
[drive:/]file-name, where
• The items in square brackets [ ] are optional.
• drive specifies the storage media of the file. The value is the name of the storage media. Because
a device has only one storage media, you can execute this command without providing this
argument.
• file-name specifies the filename, which is usually suffixed by .bin.
main: Specifies a file as the main system software image. A main system software image is used to boot
a device.
backup: Specifies a file as a backup system software image. A backup system software image is used to
boot a device only when a main system software image is unavailable.
Description
Use boot-loader to specify a system software image for the next device boot.
To execute the boot-loader command successfully, save the file for the next device boot in the root
directory of the storage media.
In FIPS mode, the system examines the signature of the file. Only when the signature is OK, can the file
be used.
Related commands: display boot-loader.
Examples
# Specify the main system software image for the next device boot as test.bin.
