Command Modes Privileged EXEC mode
Description Use this command to perform a “cold reboot” (power off and restart) of the CP or MM.
Usage Guidelines The reload operation is generally disruptive and the command prompts for confirmation before
executing. When you reboot a switch connected to a fabric, all traffic to and from that switch stops.
All ports on that switch remain inactive until the switch comes back online.
On a compact switch, If the power-on-self-test (POST) is enabled, it is executed when the system
comes back up.
On a modular chassis, the reload commands only reboots the management module on which the
command is executed. If you log in to the switch IP address and execute the reload command, only
the active management module reboots and POST is bypassed.
The available modes are listed below.
