Displaying boot information
Boot information consists of the WSS Software version and the names of the system image file and configuration file
currently running on the WSS. The boot command also lists the system image and configuration file that will be loaded
after the next reboot. The currently running versions are listed in the Booted fields. The versions that will be used after
the next reboot are listed in the Configured fields.
To display boot information, type the following command:
WSS# show boot
Configured boot version: 4.1.0.65
Configured boot image: boot1:mx040100.020
Configured boot configuration: file:configuration
Backup boot configuration: file:backup.cfg
Booted version: 4.1.0.65
Booted image: boot1:mx040100.020
Booted configuration: file:configuration
Product model: WSS
In this example, the switch is running software version 4.1.0.65. The switch used the mx040100.020 image file in boot
partition boot1 and the configuration configuration file for the most recent reboot. The switch is set to use image file
mx040100.020 in boot partition boot1 and configuration file configuration for the next reboot. If WSS Software cannot
read the configuration file when the switch is booted, then the configuration file backup.cfg is used instead.
Each time the WSS successfully loads a WSS Software software image, a reference to this image is saved as the “safe
boot” image. If the WSS Software software cannot be loaded the next time the WSS is booted, then the WSS automati-
cally attempts to load the safe boot image.
Boot failover might occur when an image update is attempted, and the update process fails. For example, with image A
loaded on the WSS, you can configure the WSS to load image B the next time the switch is booted. When the switch is
reset, if image B fails to load, the switch then attempts to load image A (the last image successfully loaded on the WSS).
