Description
The RESET DEVICE command resets the Bridge Module. The setting for the
diagnostics parameter determines whether diagnostics will execute during
a reset. Use the SHOW DEVICE command to display the diagnostic
parameter setting. Use the SET DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC command to enable
or disable diagnostics.
Enabling diagnostics results in the diagnostics executing during a reset (i.e.,
a cold boot). Disabling diagnostics results in no diagnostics being executed
during a reset (i.e., a soft boot).
The RESET DEVICE command has the same effect as pressing the Reset
button on the bridge front panel.
When you reset the Bridge Module, traffic forwarding is briefly interrupted.
You must log back in to the bridge once the reset is complete to execute
additional commands.
Note that you must SAVE or REVERT unsaved changes before this
command will execute.
