Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) Bootloader for ExtremeSwitching X870 Series Switches

The new ExtremeSwitching X870 series switches use the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) Bootloader.

ONIE is an open source initiative driven by a community of next-generation networking vendors to define an open “install environment” for bare metal network switches. ONIE acts as an enhanced bootloader using facilities in a Linux/BusyBox environment. The ONIE Bootloader provides all the standard capabilities, including rescue capability, multiple image selection, etc.
