Reboot
Some configuration changes, such as enabling jumbo frame support, require the system to be
rebooted before they take effect. However, rebooting the device deletes the Running
Configuration, so it is critical that the Running Configuration is saved to the Startup
Configuration before the device is rebooted. Clicking Apply does not save the configuration to
the Startup Configuration. For more information on files and file types, see the System Files
section.
You can back up the device configuration by using the File Operations page or clicking Save
at the top of the window. You can also upload the configuration from a remote device in the
same page.
You might want to set the time of the reboot for some time in the future. This could happen, for
example, in one of the following cases:
• You are performing actions on a remote device, and a mistake in these actions might
create loss of connectivity to the remote device. Pre-scheduling a reboot restores the
working configuration and enables restoring the connectivity to the remote device after
the specified time expires. If these actions are successful, the delayed reboot can be
manually canceled.
• Reloading the device cause loss of connectivity in the network, thus by using delayed
reboot, you can schedule the reboot to a time that is more convenient for the users (e.g.
late night).
To reboot the device:
STEP 1 Click Administration > Reboot.
STEP 2 Click the Reboot button to reboot the device.
• Reboot—Reboots the device. Since any unsaved information in the Running
Configuration is discarded when the device is rebooted, you must click Save in the
upper-right corner of any window to preserve current configuration across the boot
process. If the Save option is not displayed, the Running Configuration matches the
Startup Configuration and no action is necessary.
The following options are available:
- Immediate—Reboot immediately.
- Date—Enter the date (month/day) and time (hour and minutes) of the schedule
reboot. This schedules a reload of the software to take place at the specified time
(using a 24-hour clock). If you specify the month and day, the reload is scheduled
to take place at the specified time and date. If you do not specify the month and day,
