boot

Changes the next boot partition or image on a specified device or on the logged device. The WiNG devices have two partitions: primary and secondary, with each partition containing an image of the operating system. Whenever the device boots up it loads the image from the partition specified here.

The partition currently in control of the boot process is the active partition, the other partition is the inactive partition with the alternate image. Use this command to manually change the next boot partition or image.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h
  • Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000

boot system [active|inactive|primary|secondary] {on <DEVICE-NAME>}
