headers are not sufficient to distinguish the flows. Therefore, the fields in the L4

header are processed when hashing is performed for packets over LAG and ECMP

links. The Flex Hash functionality enables you to configure a packet search key and

matches packets based on the search key. When a packet matches the search key,

two 16-bit hash fields are extracted from the start of the L4 header and provided as

inputs (bins 2 and 3) for RTAG7 hash computation. You must specify the offset of

hash fields from the start of the L4 header, which contains a flow identification

You can cause the system to include the fields present at the offsets that you

define (from the start of the L4 header) as a part of LAG and ECMP computation.

Also, you can specify whether the IPv4 or IPv6 packets must be operated with the

Flex Hash mechanism.

reload-type fastboot

Restart the system with optimized booting-time functionality enabled. When you restart the device in fast

boot mode, traffic disruption is reduced significantly and the system operations to service the data traffic

are restored in a seamless way. This command is supported on the S6000 platform.

reload-type fastboot

By default, the device reloads in Jumpstart or BMP mode.

GLOBAL CONFIGURATION

Version 9.3(0.0)

You can configure an optimization technique to reduce the booting time of an

S6000 Switch. This mechanism is also called fast boot. With the reduced time that

is taken to reboot the switch, upon a manually-initiated reload or an expected

restart of the device, the disruption in traffic that is serviced by the switch is

minimized. Traffic outage is lowered considerably (reduced to approximately 25

seconds in certain network deployments) when you enable this optimization

method for booting of the device. By reducing the duration of traffic loss,

subscriber sessions are processed and preserved in an effective and seamless way.

Flex Hash and Optimized Boot-Up

Enable the system to restart the next time with the optimized

booting-time capability

Added support for the fastboot parameter for S6000
