Rebooting the Switch
You can reboot the switch by using the Reboot Switch command in the
console Main menu, or by pressing the recessed Reset button located to the
right of the Power LED.
Generally, you only need to reboot the switch when it needs to recognize a
change in its hardware or software (console) configuration. Some
circumstances under which you will need to reboot the switch are:
Adding new modules or moving modules to unused slots (page 2)
Installing a module in a slot that was previously occupied by a
different type of module (for example, installing a 100VG module in
a slot that was previously used for an Ethernet module—page 10)
Changing certain switch configuration parameters through the
console interface—in this case, the console provides messages
indicating when the switch must be rebooted for the configuration
change to be activated
You do not need to reboot the switch when:
Replacing a module with the same type of module, or moving a
module to a slot that was previously occupied by the same type of
module (page 10)
Adding or changing a transceiver in the switch module—in this case,
you must remove the module from the switch, and when it is
reinstalled, the switch recognizes the transceiver change (page 12)
