Switch Memory and Configuration
Using Primary and Secondary Flash Image Options
Using the Fastboot feature.
The
fastboot
command allows a boot
sequence that skips the internal power-on self-tests, resulting in a faster boot
time. When using redundant management and fastboot is enabled, it is saved
to the standby management module when the config files are synchronized.
Fastboot is used during the next bootup on either management module.
The fastboot command is shown below.
Using Reload
Th
e
Reload
command reboots the switch from the flash image that you are
currently booted on (primary or secondary) or the flash image that was set
either by the
boot set-default
command or by the last executed
boot system flash
<primary | secondary>
command. Because
reload
bypasses some subsystem
self-tests, the switch reboots faster than if you use either of the
boot
command
options. If you are using redundant management and redundancy is enabled,
the switch will failover to the other management module.
Syntax:
reload
For example, if you change the number of VLANs the switch supports, you
must reboot the switch in order to implement the change. The
reload
command
prompts you to save or discard the configuration changes.
Figure 6-17. Using Reload with with Redundant Management and Pending Configuration Changes
Syntax:
[no] fastboot
Enables the fastboot option
The
no
option
disables the feature
.
Syntax:
show fastboot
Shows the status of the fastboot feature, either enabled or
disabled.
ProCurve(config)# fastboot
ProCurve(config)# max-vlans 12
Command will take effect after saving configuration and reboot.
ProCurve(config)# reload
This command will cause a switchover to the other management module
which may not be running the same software image and configurations.
