Boot Config Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Boot Config tab.


Name	Description
SwVersion	Specifies the software version that currently runs on the chassis.
LastRuntimeConfigSource	Specifies the last source for the run-time image.
PrimaryConfigSource	Specifies the primary configuration source.
PrimaryBackupConfigSource	Specifies the backup configuration source to use if the primary does not exist.
EnableFactoryDefaultsMode	Specifies whether the switch uses the factory default settings at startup. false: The node does not use factory default settings at startup. fabric: This mode is not supported. noFabric: The node uses the factory default mode settings at startup. The default value is false. This flag is automatically reset to the default setting after the switch restarts. If you change this parameter, you must restart the switch for the change to take effect. Note: The factorydefaults flag deletes the runtime, primary and backup configuration files, local password files, authentication keys, and certificates. After a factory default, you must change the password on first login.
EnableDebugMode	Enabling the debugmode allows a user to enable TRACE on any port by prompting the selection on the console during boot up. This allows the user start trace for debugging earlier on specified port. It only works on console connection. The default value is disabled. Important: Do not change this parameter.
EnableRebootOnError	Activates or disables automatic reboot on a fatal error. The default value is activated. Important: Do not change this parameter.
EnableTelnetServer	Activates or disables the Telnet server service. The default value is disabled.
EnableRloginServer Note: Exception: only supported on VSP 8600 Series.	Activates or disables the rlogin and rsh server. The default value is disabled.
EnableFtpServer	Activates or disables the FTP server on the switch. The default value is disabled. To enable FTP, ensure that the TFTPD flag is disabled.
EnableTftpServer	Activates or disables Trivial File Transfer Protocol server service. The default value is disabled.
EnableSshServer	Activates or disables the SSH server service. The default value is disabled.
EnableSpbmConfigMode	Enables you to configure SPB and IS-IS, but you cannot configure PIM and IGMP either globally or on an interface. The boot flag is enabled by default.
EnableIpv6Mode Note: Exception: not supported on VSP 4450 Series or XA1400 Series .	Enable this flag to support IPv6 routes with prefix-lengths greater than 64 bits. This flag is disabled by default.
EnableEnhancedsecureMode	Enables or disables the enhanced secure mode. Select either jitc or non-jitc to enable the enhanced secure mode in one of these sub-modes. The default is disabled. Note: As a best practice, enable the enhanced secure mode in the non-JITC sub-mode because the JITC sub-mode is more restrictive and prevents the use of some troubleshooting utilities.
EnableUrpfMode	Enables Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF) globally. You must enable uRPF globally before you configure it on a port or VLAN. The default is disabled.
EnableVxlanGwFullInterworkingMode Note: Exception: only supported on VSP 7200 Series, VSP 7400 Series, VSP 8200 Series, and VSP 8400 Series.	Enables VXLAN Gateway in Full Interworking Mode, which supports SPB, SMLT, and vIST. By default, the Base Interworking Mode is enabled and Full Interworking Mode is disabled. You change modes by enabling this boot configuration flag. In Base Interworking Mode, VXLAN Gateway supports Layer 2 gateway communication between VXLAN and traditional VLAN environments.
EnableFlowControlMode Note: Exception: not supported on VSP 8600 Series.	Enables or disables flow control globally. When disabled, the system does not generate nor configure the transmission of flow control messages. The system always honors received flow control messages regardless of the flow control mode status. You must enable this mode before you configure an interface to send pause frames. The default is disabled.
AdvancedFeatureBwReservation Note: Exception: only supported on 5420 Series, 5520 Series, VSP 7400 Series, and XA1480. Exception: only low level supported on 5420 Series. Exception: only low level and vim level is supported on 5520 Series.	Enables the switch to support advanced features by reserving ports as loopback ports. When disabled, you can use all ports on the switch, but advanced features do not work. The default varies depending on the platform: The default for XA1400, VSP 7400 and 5420 Series is enabled with low level. The default for 5520 Series is enabled with vim level if Versatile Interface Module (VIM) is not installed, else low level is enabled. The high level means that the switch reserves the maximum bandwidth for the advanced features. The low level means that the switch reserves less bandwidth to support minimum functionality for advanced features. The vim level means that the switch VIM ports as loopback ports and the Universal Ethernet ports for uplinks. If you change this parameter, you must restart the switch.
EnableDvrLeafMode	Enables the switch to be configured as a DvR Leaf. When enabled, you cannot configure the switch to operate as a DvR Controller.
EnablevrfScaling	Changes the maximum number of VRFs and Layer 3 VSNs that the switch supports. If you select this check box, the maximum number increases. The default is disabled. Important: If you select both this check box and the EnableSpbmConfigMode check box, the switch reduces the number of configurable VLANs. For more information about maximum scaling numbers, see VSP 8600 Release Notes.
EnableSyslogRfc5424Format	Enables or disables the RFC 5424 syslog format. The default is enabled. If the pre-existing configuration file is for a release prior to this enhancement, then the flag is disabled automatically.
NniMstp	Enables MSTP, and allows non SPBM B-VLAN configuration on SPBM NNI ports.The default is disabled. Note: Spanning Tree is disabled on all SPBM NNIs. You cannot add an SPBM NNI port or MLT port to any non SPBM B-VLAN.
EnableIpv6EgressFilterMode	Enables IPv6 egress filters. The default is disabled. If you change this parameter, you must restart the switch.
EnableMacsec Note: Exception: only supported on 5420 Series.	Enables Media Access Control Security (MACsec) mode globally. To enable MACsec mode, you must configure the boot flag.
MasterCPUSlot Note: Exception: only supported on VSP 8600 Series.	Specifies the slot number, either 1 or 2, for the master CPU. The default value is 1.
EnableHaCpu Note: Exception: only supported on VSP 8600 Series.	Enables or disables the CPU High Availability feature. If you enable or disable HA mode, the secondary CPU automatically resets to load settings from the previously-saved configuration file. The default is enabled.
EnableSavetoStandby Note: Exception: only supported on VSP 8600 Series.	Enables or disables automatic save of the configuration file to the standby CPU. The default value is enabled.
Slot	Specifies the slot number.
TftpHash	Enables TFTP hashing.
TftpRetransmit	Set TFTP retransmit timeout counter.
TftpTimeout	Set TFTP timeout counter.
User	Configure host user.
Password	Configure host password.
