Command History
This guide is platform-specific. For command information about other platforms, refer to the relevant Dell
Networking OS Command Reference Guide.
The following is a list of the Dell Networking OS version history for this command.
Version Description
9.10(0.1) Introduced on the S6010-ON and S4048T-ON.
9.10(0.0) Introduced on the S6100–ON.
9.8(1.0) Introduced on the Z9100–ON.
9.3(0.0) Added support for the fastboot parameter for S6000 platform.
Usage Information
You can configure an optimization technique to reduce the booting time of an S6000 Switch. This mechanism is
also called fast boot. With the reduced time that is taken to reboot the switch, upon a manually-initiated reload or
an expected restart of the device, the disruption in traffic that is serviced by the switch is minimized. Traffic
outage is lowered considerably (reduced to approximately 25 seconds in certain network deployments) when you
enable this optimization method for booting of the device. By reducing the duration of traffic loss, subscriber
sessions are processed and preserved in an effective and seamless way.
