Rebooting the device CAUTION: • A reboot can 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 you have correctly specified the startup configuration file and startup software images. If the main startup software images are corrupted or missing, you must re-specify a set of main startup software images before using the reboot command to reboot the device. Otherwise, the device cannot start up. 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. Reboot at the CLI enables easy remote device maintenance. Configuration guidelines The automatic reboot configuration is effective on all member devices, and will be canceled if a master/subordinate switchover occurs. If you execute the scheduler reboot at or scheduler reboot delay command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect. For data security, the device does not reboot while it is performing file operations. Rebooting devices immediately at the CLI To immediately reboot the device, execute one of the following commands as appropriate in user view: Task Reboot an IRF member device or all IRF member devices. Command reboot [ slot slot-number ] [ force ] Scheduling a device reboot To schedule a reboot, execute either of the following commands in user view: Task Specify the reboot date and time. Command Remarks scheduler reboot at time [ date ] By default, no reboot date or time is specified. 102

Rebooting the device
CAUTION:
A reboot can 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 you have
correctly specified the startup configuration file and startup software images. If the main startup
software images are corrupted or missing, you must re-specify a set of main startup software images
before using the
reboot
command to reboot the device. Otherwise, the device cannot start up. 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.
Reboot at the CLI enables easy remote device maintenance.
Configuration guidelines
The automatic reboot configuration is effective on all member devices, and will be canceled if a
master/subordinate switchover occurs.
If you execute the
scheduler reboot at
or
scheduler reboot delay
command multiple times, the most recent
configuration takes effect.
For data security, the device does not reboot while it is performing file operations.
Rebooting devices immediately at the CLI
To immediately reboot the device, execute one of the following commands as appropriate in user view:
Task
Command
Reboot an IRF member device or all IRF member
devices.
