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.
Because fastboot reboots the CP a WARNING message and a confirmation
are displayed. The command only takes place if the user responds positively.
Note:
logical switches and both CPs.
Operands
