Resetting a switch
Resetting a switch reboots the switch using the configuration parameters in memory. Depending on the
reset type, a switch reset may or may not include a Power On Self Test (POST) and/or may or may not
disrupt traffic. Table 10 describes the types of switch resets. During a Hot Reset operation, fabric services
will be unavailable for a short period (30—75 seconds, depending on switch model).
