ABSTRACT:
A system and method for controlling an Ethernet node's boot-up process. Upon detecting a system reset condition with respect to the Ethernet node, a link down condition is effectuated on at least a portion of the link ports of the Ethernet node. Initialization and configuration of system switch software continues to take place in response to the system reset condition. Responsive to the link down condition, network traffic on the link ports is discontinued. Upon completion of the system software configuration, a link up condition is effectuated on the link ports, whereupon network traffic on the link ports may recommence.
