What is dlInitiateColdBoot?

This read-write integer, when written with 1, causes the boot software to initiate a full system reboot, with the description cautioning that all download-control MIB variables should be set before triggering the reset, and reads always return 0. An administrator uses this to remotely trigger a device reboot as the final step after configuring download-related parameters. For example, after setting the TFTP server address and target filename for a firmware update, the admin writes 1 to this object to kick off the reboot that will apply the new settings.
