Interpreting POST Results

Each time the switch is powered on, rebooted, or reset, it performs a power-on self-test (POST). The total boot time with
the POST can be several minutes. The POST can be omitted after subsequent reboots by using the fastboot command
or entering the diagDisablePost command to persistently disable the POST. The success or failure results of the
diagnostic tests that run during the POST can be monitored through LED activity, the error log, or the command line
interface. During the POST, the LEDs flash different colors.
The POST performs the following tasks:
•
Conducts preliminary POST diagnostics.
•
Initializes the operating system.
•
Initializes the hardware.
•
Runs diagnostic tests on several functions, including the circuitry, port functionality, memory, statistics counters, and
serialization.
