Core Switch 2/64 V4.1 Installation Guide
POST and Boot Specifications
The Core Switch 2/64 performs POST by default each time the chassis is powered
on (“cold boot”) or the Core Switch 2/64 is rebooted or reset. The Core Switch
2/64 can be rebooted using the
switchreboot
,
reboot
, or
fastboot
commands. The
fastboot
command reboots the switches without running
POST. If the active CP card is rebooted, it fails over to the other CP card.
POST
The success/fail results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST can be
monitored through LED activity, the error log, or a command-line interface.
POST requires a minimum of three minutes to complete (time may vary
depending on devices connected to Core Switch 2/64).
POST includes the following steps:
1. Preliminary POST diagnostics are run.
2. Operating system is initialized.
3. Hardware is initialized.
4. Diagnostic tests are run on several functions, including circuitry, port
functionality, ability to send and receive frames, all aspects of memory,
parity, statistics counters, and serialization.
Boot
Boot completes in a minimum of three minutes if POST is run.
In addition to POST, boot includes the following steps after POST is complete:
1. Universal port configuration is performed.
2. Links are initialized.
3. Fabric is analyzed. If any ports are connected to other switches, the switch
participates in a fabric configuration.
4. The switch obtains a domain ID and assigns port addresses.
5. Unicast routing tables are constructed.
6. Normal port operation is enabled.
