Description
Use the boot boot-loader primary command to set a specified program as the 
primary bootstrap program.
Use the boot boot-loader backup command to set a specified program as the 
backup bootstrap program.
If the switch cannot be started through specified bootstrap program, a program 
will be selected from the Flash or CF card as bootstrap program. If the switch still 
cannot be started normally, the switch fails to boot up.
An Switch 8800 Family series routing switch supports system switchover, both its 
active and standby SRPCs have an application program system. You can operate 
on the programs on both SRPCs. But when you specify a bootstrap program on 
the standby SRPC, the URL of the program must begin with "slot[No.]#[flash: | 
cf:]/", where, [No.] is the slot number of the standby SRPC and [flash: | cf:] is the 
name of the equipment, flash card or CF card. For example, if the slot number of 
the standby SRPC is 1, the URL of the 8500.app program under the root directory 
on the standby SRPC must be "slot1#flash:/8500.app".
Example
# Specify flash:/s8500-vrp310-r1262.app as the current primary bootstrap 
program of the active SRPC.
<SW8800> boot boot-loader primary flash:/s8500-vrp310-r1262.app
 
The specified file will be booted next time!. 
# Specify slot1#flash:/s8500-vrp310-r1262.app as the current primary bootstrap 
program on the standby SRPC in slot 1.
