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.
