Rebooting the device
CAUTION:
• A device reboot might interrupt network services.
• To avoid configuration loss, use the save command to save the running configuration before a reboot.
For more information about the save command, see
Fundamentals Command Reference
.
• Before a reboot, use the display startup and display boot-loader commands to verify that the startup
configuration file and startup software images are correctly specified. If a startup configuration file or
software image problem exists, the device cannot start up correctly. For more information about the two
display commands, see
Fundamentals Command Reference
.
The following device reboot methods are available:
• Immediately reboot the device at the CLI.
• Schedule a reboot at the CLI, so the device automatically reboots at the specified time or after the
specified period of time.
• Power off and then power on the device. This method might cause data loss, and is the
least-preferred method.
Using the CLI, you can reboot the device from a remote host.
Configuration guidelines
• The automatic reboot configuration is effective on all member devices. It will be canceled if a
master/subordinate switchover occurs.
• For data security purposes, the device does not reboot while it is performing file operations.
