Boot Access Security Mode

On the S- K- and 7100-Series devices, the boot menu is called the System Image Loader menu. This menu provides for such boot related functionality as the ability to:

• Delete an image file
• Set the boot file image
• Start a ZMODEM download
• Display available image files or current boot image file
• Clear the persistent storage

By default you can gain access to this menu as the device is booting by pressing any key once you see the line:

Press any key to enter System Image Loader menu

See Setting the Boot Firmware Image for additional boot menu information.

Access to the boot menu can be enabled or disabled using the set security boot-access command. The show security boot-access command displays the current boot menu access setting for the device.

Disabling access to the boot menu affects all user privilege modes, including super-user.
