What is dlForceOnBoot?

This read-write integer, when set to 1, causes the device to request a firmware download during its next restart, falling back to booting from the current flash-resident image if no download server responds and that image is valid. An administrator sets this to force a network-based firmware reload on the next boot cycle while retaining a safe fallback to existing flash firmware. For example, to push a firmware update that requires a fresh network download rather than an online update, the admin sets this object to 1 before rebooting the device.
