Reload-Type Fastboot - Dell S6100 Configuration Manual

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 field.
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.
Example Dell(conf)# load-balance flexhash ipv4 ip-proto 1 desc offset1 1 offset2 2

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.

Usage Information
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.
