Abstract
Devices and methods for managing boot personalities in a network device are disclosed. The method includes, after powering on the network device, a programmable component of the network device outputting a first signal unique to a first boot personality. One or more switches are toggled based on the first signal. The toggling results in connecting at least one of one or more first components in the network device associated with the first boot personality and disconnecting at least one of one or more second components in the network device associated with a second boot personality.
