Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The function of the reboot command is the same as powering off and then powering on a device, but this command facilitates remote device maintenance.

Configuration Impact

After the reboot or reboot save diagnostic-information command is run in traditional mode or a service LS in LS mode, the system displays a message asking you whether to save the configuration. If you choose to save the configuration, the current configuration is written into the configuration file to prevent configuration loss after the reboot. If you choose not to save the configuration, the device reboots using the configuration in the configuration file, leading to the loss of unsaved configuration.
After the reboot fast command is run, the device reboots without prompting you to save the configuration. Therefore, the unsaved configuration will be lost.
After the reboot save diagnostic-information command is run, if a diagnostic information file already exists, the system displays a message asking you whether to overwrite the file before the reboot. If you choose to overwrite the file, the system saves current diagnostic information to the root directory of the CF card and overwrites the original diagnostic information file. If you choose not to overwrite the file, the system does not collect diagnostic information. Diagnostic information does not affect device configuration.

Precautions

Confirm the action before you use the reboot command, because this command may break down the network in a short period of time. In addition, before restarting a device, ensure that the configuration file of the device has been saved.

After the reboot command is run, if you do not respond to the prompt of the system before the time expires, the user view will be displayed and the device will not be restarted.

After the reboot command is run, press Ctrl+C to interrupt.

In VS mode, this command is supported only by the admin VS.

Example

# Fast reboot the device.

reboot fast 
IPU 1:
Next startup system software: cfcard:/VxxxRxxxCxx.cc
Next startup saved-configuration file: cfcard:/vrpcfg.zip
Next startup paf file: default
Next startup patch package: NULL

The Other IPU is the same with IPU 1
