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:

Syntax

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

Parameters

  • active – Changes the next boot image to the current, running (active) image
  • inactive – Changes the next boot image to the current, inactive image
  • primary – Changes the next boot partition to the primary partition.
