To reset the FWSM, see the section for your operating system:
• Resetting the FWSM in Cisco IOS Software, page 2-14
• Resetting the FWSM in Catalyst Operating System Software, page 2-14
Note To reload the FWSM when you are logged into the FWSM, enter reload or reboot. You cannot boot from
a non-default boot partition with these commands.
Resetting the FWSM in Cisco IOS Software
To reset the FWSM from the switch CLI, enter the following command:
Router# hw-module module mod_num reset [cf: n ] [mem-test-full]
The cf:n argument is the partition, either 1 (maintenance), 4 (application), or 5 (application). If you do
not specify the partition, the default partition is used (typically cf:4).
The mem-test-full option runs a full memory test, which takes approximately 6 minutes.
This example shows how to reset the FWSM installed in slot 9. The default boot partition is used.
Router# hw-mod mod 9 reset
Proceed with reload of module? [confirm] y

Resetting the FWSM in Catalyst Operating System Software
To reset the FWSM from the switch CLI, enter the following command:

specify the partition, the default partition is used (typically cf:4).
