Booting with a Named Boot
You typically perform a named boot to use a new or modified configuration or
image file. This type of boot lets you specify the files that the router uses to boot
and to operate.
If you are booting with a new or modified configuration file, you should have
saved this file under a unique name. (See Chapter 3, “Modifying and Saving
Router Configurations,” for instructions on how to save a configuration file.) After
you boot the router with the new file and are confident that it is stable, you can
then rename the file config, the default configuration file.
To perform a named boot:
1. In the Site Manager main window, choose Administration > Boot Router.
The Boot Router window opens listing the default volumes and file names for
the router boot image and the configuration file (Figure 4-1)
. The file names
and volumes vary depending on the router.
For routers that use flash memory cards or single inline memory modules
(SIMMs), the default volume is the first available card or module, which is
designated by its slot number. For routers that use diskettes, the volume is the
letter A.

To use a boot image and configuration file other than the ones displayed, go to
step 2. To accept the files listed, go to step 3.
