Enter Ctrl+B during start-up to access the bootloader menu where boot options can be
set. The boot options shown are explained in detail under this example.
Boot options A powerful feature of AlliedWare Plus™ is the ability to boot from a variety of sources.
Previously the switch was constrained to just booting off the release loaded into Flash
memory. The only software release upgrade path being to load a new release into Flash
memory and then set this release to be loaded at the next restart.
With AlliedWare Plus™ the switch can boot from other sources, such as a USB stick or
network server. This provides a very flexible system, with multiple options to upgrade
software releases and for system recovery.
