reload (reboot)
Required Command-Line Mode = Enable
Required User Level = Admin
Use the reload command to reboot or halt the system.
Note: Rebooting control card 1 also reboots control card 2, interrupting any ongoing sessions there. Active sessions with control card 2 are not common and will typically only occur when updating the software on the card.
The reload command has the following syntax:
reload
force [immediate]
halt
Use the reload command without any arguments to reboot the system.
The following table describes the arguments for the reload command:
Argument |
Description |
force [immediate] |
Reboots the system immediately, regardless of whether the system is currently busy. Optionally, use immediate to ensure an immediate reboot. For example: (config) # reload (config) # reload force (config) # reload force immediate |
halt |
Stops all system activities without powering the system down. For example: (config) # reload halt |
