reboot
Parameters
None
Mode
Privileged Exec mode
Description
Use this command to reset the switch. You might reset the unit if it is
experiencing a problem or if you want to reconfigure its settings after you
designate a new active boot configuration file.This command is identical to
“RELOAD” on page 161. The command displays a confirmation prompt.
Caution
The switch does not forward network traffic while it initializes its
management software. Some network traffic may be lost. The reset
can take from 10 seconds to two minutes, depending on the number
and complexity of the commands in the active boot configuration file.
Note
The switch discards any configuration changes that have not been
saved in its active boot configuration file. To save your changes,
enter the WRITE command or the COPY RUNNING-CONFIG
STARTUP-CONFIG command before resetting the switch. For
instructions, refer to “WRITE” on page 108 or “COPY RUNNING-
CONFIG STARTUP-CONFIG” on page 97.
To resume managing the switch, wait for the switch to initialize the
management software and then start a new management session.
Example
The following command resets the switch:
awplus> enable
awplus# reboot
