boot system tftp
Configures the device to boot from the image stored on a TFTP server.
Syntax
Command Default
By default, the device first attempts to boot from the image stored in its primary flash, then its secondary flash, and then from a TFTP server.
Parameters
- server-ip
- The IP address of the TFTP server. The IP address of the device and the TFTP server should be in the same subnet.
- file-name
- The boot code file name.
- fiber-port
- Configures to boot the device from a TFTP server through the fiber connection. This option is available only in devices running router images and in Privilege EXEC mode.
Modes
Privileged EXEC mode
Global configuration mode
Usage Guidelines
It is very important that you verify a successful transfer of the boot code before you reset the system. If the boot code is not transferred successfully but you try to reset the system, the system will not have the boot code with which to successfully boot.
The boot system tftp command is not supported in a stacking environment.
The no form of the command resets the boot preference to the default.
