show boot system

Use this command to display the firmware image the system will load at the next system reset.

Syntax

Parameters

None.

Defaults

None.

Mode

All command modes.

Usage

The system must be reset by software for the new boot image to take effect at startup. If the chassis is powered OFF and then back ON, the current active image will reload at startup.

The dir command, as described in dir, displays additional information about boot image files. “Active” indicates the image that is currently running, and “Boot” indicates the image that is currently scheduled to boot next. The set boot system command (set boot system) will move the boot designation from the current running image, but will allow the active image to stay where it is until after the reset, when that image has actually been booted.
