ARISTA Switch Reinstallation Guide for EOS in Aboot Mode
Time: 2024-09-04
When users use the switch, due to some operation abnormality, such as accidentally deleting the original configuration/system files without backing up the original system, the switch may fail to boot into a boot loaded boot mode. In this mode, the switch provides a command line interface that allows users to perform troubleshooting and recovery operations, and different vendors have different names for this mode, such as ROMMON mode for CISCO switches and Aboot mode for ARISTA switches.
Previously we have introduced Guidelines for reinstalling the IOS system of Cisco ASR9010 Router in ROMMON Mode , and today Moduletek Limited Laboratory takes Arista DCS-7060DX4-32-F switch as an example to show you how to reinstall system on ARISTA switch in Aboot mode.
· Steps to reinstall the system
1. Format the USB flash drive, use FAT32 file format, and put the prepared EOS system file into the USB flash drive (this time, import the system file name: EOS 4.26.2F.swi );
2. Boot the switch into Aboot mode , access the USB flash drive, enter /mnt to see the peripherals of usb1, enter /mnt/usb1 to see the system files stored in the USB flash drive;

5. In global configuration mode, execute the command “boot system flash:EOS-4.26.2F.swi” to configure the device startup file and save it, and the next time you start the system, it will directly enter the EXEC user interface.
