Usage
When fastboot is enabled, most tests under a Power On Self Test (POST) are skipped. By default, fastboot is enabled.
After disabling fastboot, save switch configurations and then reboot for POST to run. POST verifies the hardware functionality of various modules during boot-up. Based on the criticality of the test, the selftest module decides whether to go ahead with the boot-up sequence of a particular subsystem or interface during a POST failure.
POST runs memory built-in selftest (BISTs) and front-end port loopback tests. Memory BISTs verify the internal and external memory blocks present in the module. The memory tables are critical for proper functionality of the system so any failures in these tests results in the corresponding subsystem to be marked as "Failed" and thus that subsystem is not available for use.
Front-end port loopback tests verify the physical port front-end interface. These tests check if a particular interface can function properly. A test failure means that a particular interface has been marked as "Failed" and is now unavailable for use.
Examples
Enabling fastboot:
switch# configure terminal switch(config)# fastboot switch(config)# end switch# show running-config Current configuration: ! !Version ArubaOS-CX XL.10.00.0002 module 1/1 product-number jl363a ! ! ! ! ! ! ! vlan 1 interface 1/1/1 no shutdown
Disabling fastboot:
switch# configure terminal switch(config)# no fastboot switch(config)# end switch(config)# write mem Configuration changes will take time to process, please be patient. switch# show running-config Current configuration: ! !Version ArubaOS-CX XL.10.00.0002 module 1/1 product-number jl363a ! ! ! no fastboot ! ! ! ! vlan 1 interface 1/1/1 no shutdown
