Remember to Save
Regardless of the download option used, configurations are
downloaded into switch runtime memory only. The configuration is
saved only when the
save command is issued, or if the
configuration file itself includes the
save command.
If the configuration currently running in the switch does not match
the configuration that the switch used when it originally booted, an
asterisk (*) appears before the command line prompt when using
the CLI.
Accessing BootROM
The BootROM of the switch initializes certain important switch
variables during the boot process. In the event the switch does not
boot properly, you can access some boot option functions through a
special BootROM menu.
Interaction with the BootROM menu is only required under special
circumstances, and should be done only under the direction of Intel
Customer Support.
To access the BootROM menu, follow these steps:
• Attach a serial cable to the console port of the switch, as described
in Chapter 3, Accessing the Switch.
• Attach the other end of the serial cable to a terminal or terminal
emulator.
• Power cycle the switch while pressing the spacebar on the
keyboard of the terminal.
• When the
BootROM-> prompt appears, release the spacebar. You
can open a Help menu by pressing
h.
Options in the menu include:
• Selecting the image to boot from
• Booting to factory default configuration
• Performing a serial download of an image
For example, to change the image that the switch boots from in flash
memory:
• Press 1 for the image stored in primary, or
