show
Displays the currently active boot profile. A boot profile is a set of parameters that a switch uses
to control the boot process. Each boot profile contains the following parameters:
• Boot type—Either compact flash (local device on the switch) or network (TFTP)
• Boot device—Location of the system image file
• Filename—System image file
• Flags—Number representing the bit settings of boot flags to pass to the booted system
image.
• Options—String up to 128 bytes of boot options to pass to the booted system image
A DWS-1008 switch can have up to four boot profiles, numbered 0 through 3. Only one boot
profile can be active at a time. You can create, change, and delete boot profiles. You also can
activate another boot profile in place of the currently active one.

Defaults: None.

The following is an example of a boot profile that is booted with a software image downloaded

called bootfile located on a TFTP server with address 172.16.0.1.
