•The all <slot-number>parameter specifies that the automatic boot applies to all interface modules in the device or to an interface module in the specified device slot number only. You can specify 1 – 4 for 4-slot devices, 1 – 8 for 8-slot devices, 1 – 16 for 16-slot devices, or 1 – 32 for 32-slot devices.
