fixed.
Use the aggressive keyword when you have redundant supervisor engines, or when network-level
redundancy has been provided.
Examples

ongoing failure occurs:

(Optional) Specifies that the bootup SRAM diagnostics log all failures
and remove all affected buffers from the hardware operation. The
ongoing SRAM diagnostics will log events, but will take no other
action.
(Optional) Specifies that the SRAM diagnostics operate as in
conservative mode, except that an ongoing failure resets the supervisor
engine; allows for the bootup tests to map out the affected memory.
(Optional) Specifies that the SRAM diagnostics operate as in normal
mode, except that a bootup failure only logs failures and does not allow
the supervisor engine to come online; allows for either a redundant
supervisor engine or network-level redundancy to take over.
