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
9.8(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.
lacp fast-switchover

Syntax
