Rebooting, Resetting, and Power Cycling
Reboot
Rebooting the Acme Packet 6100 shuts down the system in an orderly fashion
and then automatically restarts it. The operating system gracefully shuts down
as processes are terminated and the files system is stopped. While the system
and its processes are stopped, all call processing is immediately halted. You
may therefore wish to perform tasks that call for a reboot during off-peak
maintenance hours.
Rebooting the Acme Packet 6100 is required every time you upgrade with a
new version of the Acme Packet 6100 software.
Save your configurations before rebooting the Acme Packet 6100. Refer to the
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide for a full explanation of this procedure.
The save-config command is used to save the configuration in the example
below.
For a full explanation and all options for the reboot command used in the
example below, refer to the
ACLI Reference Guide .

System Reset
Resetting the Acme Packet 6100 via the reset pushbutton on the front of the
chassis performs a cold reboot. This is the equivalent to disconnecting the
power from the system and then reconnecting it. There is no orderly
termination of tasks, and the system shuts down abruptly. You should only
reset the Acme Packet 6100 when it becomes unstable and no other means of
gaining administrative control is possible.
