sequence that skips the internal power-on self-tests, resulting in a faster boot
time.

The

no option disables the feature.

Syntax: show fastboot

Shows the status of the fastboot feature, either enabled or
disabled.

Using Reload

Th

e Reload command reboots the switch from the flash image that you are

currently booted on (primary or secondary) or the flash image that was set
either by the

boot set-default command or by the last executed boot system flash

command. Because reload bypasses some subsystem
self-tests, the switch reboots faster than if you use either of the

boot command

options.

Syntax: reload

For example, if you change the number of VLANs the switch supports, you
must reboot the switch in order to implement the change. The

reload command

prompts you to save or discard the configuration changes.
