Boot options A powerful feature of AlliedWare Plus™ is the ability to boot from a variety of sources.
Previously the switch was constrained to just booting off the release loaded into flash memory.
The only software release upgrade path being to load a new release into flash memory and
then set this release to be loaded at the next restart.
With AlliedWare Plus™ the switch can boot from other sources, such as a memory card or
network server. This provides a very flexible system, with multiple options to upgrade software
releases and for system recovery.
