Field	Description
SwVersion	The software version that is currently running.
LastBootConfigSource	The last source from which the switch booted.
PrimarySource	Specifies the first boot source the switch attempts to use at bootup. Refer to
PrimarySourceFileName	Name of the boot file in the primary source.
SecondarySource	Specifies the second boot source the switch attempts to use at bootup. Refer to Table 20 for boot option descriptions.
SecondarySourceFileName	Name of the boot file in the secondary source.
Tertiary	Specifies the third boot source the switch attempts to use at bootup. Refer to Table 20 for boot option descriptions.
TeritarySourceFileName	Name of the boot file in the tertiary source.
ConfigSource	Specifies the source from which the switch loads the configuration file.
ConfigSourceFileName	Name of the configuration file.
PrimarySourceFileName	Name of the boot file in the primary source.

Boot Option	Description
flash	Each switch has internal flash memory that it uses to store its configuration and its software image.
pcmcia	The PCMCIA card provides portable configuration and software image storage. Using multiple PCMCIA cards, you can expand your booting options: Store configurations and use them among multiple switches. Have multiple configurations handy for a single switch. Only the Accelar 1200/1250 switch provides PCMCMIA card support.
net	Software is loaded onto a network server. Using BootP and TFTP, you can boot your switch over the network.
none	Skips the boot options specified for this entry and goes to the next set of options in descending order. For example, tagging the primary boot as "skip" specifies that the secondary boot options should be attempted first.

The switch attempts to boot from the sources specified by trying the primary source first. If the primary source fails, it attempts to boot from the secondary source and, failing that, it attempts to boot from the tertiary source.You can also specify the boot order from the Web Management Interface (refer to Reference for the Accelar 1000 Series Management Software Routing Operations) or from the Boot Monitor CLI (refer to Reference for the Accelar 1000 Series Command Line Interface - Software Release 2.0).
