Telnet Commands
fastboot
Reboot the switch, bypassing POST.
Synopsis
fastboot
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to reboot the switch, bypassing Power On Self Test (POST). The reboot takes
effect immediately as the switch resets and executes normal power-on booting sequence. However,
POST is skipped. This reduces boot time significantly.
If POST has been disabled using the diagDisablePost command, then fastboot is the same as
reboot. However, fastboot skips the POST on the current reboot, while diagDisablePost skips
POST on all future reboots until cancelled by diagEnablePost.
While the switch is rebooting, the telnet session is closed and all Fibre Channel ports are inactive. If
the switch is part of a fabric, the remaining switches reconfigure.
Operands
None.
