initiate a soft reload to debug a periodic crash with minimal traffic disruption.

If a soft reload that has been triggered by using the soft-reload command fails, the switch will not be
reloaded. Soft reload can then be attempted again by using the soft-reload command after the failures
shown have been corrected.
•
Any connected FEXs are not reloaded during a soft reload.

Soft reload is not triggered if an ISSU is in progress.

ISSU is not attempted if soft reload is in progress.

After a soft reload, the switch will come up with the last saved configuration along with any configuration
changes made since the last saved switch configuration. However, the show running-config command
will display only the last saved switch configuration.

Production traffic may be impacted if there are any STP configurations that may lead to network
convergences.

Follow the usual debug process to debug any process crashes that lead to a soft reload.

If the switch crashes within 20 minutes after a soft reload, another soft reload is not triggered.

If the switch crashes more than 20 minutes after a soft reload, another soft reload is triggered.
•
We recommend doing a manual switch reload as soon as possible after a soft reload.
•
After a soft reload, we recommend not making any configuration changes until a manual switch reload
is done.
