boot or b—Boot an image. The boot command with no arguments will boot the first image in
boot flash. You can include an argument, filename, to specify a file to be booted over the network
using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). The local device (see the description of b device
following) can be specified by typing the device specifier (devid). If the specified device name is
not recognized by the ROM monitor, the system will attempt to boot the image (imagename)
from a network TFTP server. Do not insert a space between devid and imagename. Options to the
boot command are -x, load image but do not execute, and -v, verbose. The form of the boot
command follows:
boot [-xv] [devid][imagename]

or IP address, the boot command will boot from that source.

in the flash bank.
