ABSTRACT:
A router in one embodiment of the present disclosure has first router logic and boot logic. The first router logic is configured to operate the router, and the boot logic is configured to receive updated router logic from a network and to perform a first reboot. The boot logic is further configured to initialize deactivation of the first router logic and initialize activation of the updated router logic during the first reboot such that a plurality of functions for the router are enabled during execution of the updated router logic. The boot logic is also configured to perform, in response to an error during execution of the updated router logic, a second reboot such that at least one of the functions is disabled.
