Rebooting the device or a module
CAUTION:
•
If the main system software image file does not exist, do not use the
reboot
command to reboot
the device. Specify the main system software image file first, and then reboot the device.
•
The precision of the rebooting timer is 1 minute. 1 minute before the rebooting time, the device
prompts "REBOOT IN ONE MINUTE" and reboots in one minute.
•
If you are performing file operations when the device is to be rebooted, the system does not
execute the
reboot
command for security.
To reboot the device or a module, use one of the following methods:
•
Reboot the device at the CLI.
Reboot the device immediately by using the
reboot
command.
Schedule a reboot to occur at a specific time or date or after a delay by using the
schedule reboot
command.
•
Power off and then power on the device. This method cuts off the power of the device forcibly,
which might cause data loss and hardware damage. It is the least-preferred method.
To reboot a module or the device immediately:
