Resetting the Switch
To reset the switch, use either the REBOOT or RELOAD command in the
Privileged Exec mode. You might reset the switch if it is experiencing a problem
or if you want to reconfigure its settings after designating a new active boot
configuration file. The commands display a confirmation prompt.
Caution
The switch will not forward network traffic while it initializes its
management software. Some network traffic may be lost. The reset can
take from thirty seconds to two minutes, depending on the number and
complexity of the commands in the active boot configuration file.
Note
Any configuration changes that have not been saved in the active boot
configuration file are discarded when you reset the switch. To save your
changes, use the WRITE or COPY RUNNING-CONFIG STARTUP-
CONFIG command in the Privileged Exec mode.
To reset the switch with the REBOOT command:
awplus> enable
awplus# reboot
Are you sure you want to reboot the switch? (y/n) y
To reset the switch with the RELOAD command:
awplus> enable
awplus# reload
Are you sure you want to reboot the switch? (y/n) y
To resume managing the switch, wait for the switch to initialize its management
software and then start a new management session.
For reference information, refer to “REBOOT” on page 164 and “RELOAD” on
page 165.
