Resetting a Switching Module
The reset command initiates a soft reset on the module in a specified slot. Conceptually,
resetting a switching module with this command is similar to switching off power to the
module; the module will be in the same state after a reset as it is after a power on.
♦ Notes ♦
Some NI modules do not support the
reset command.
The primary
MPX module cannot be reset. To reset the
secondary MPX, use the secreset command, which is
described in Chapter 6, “Configuring Management
Processor Modules.”
To reset a switching module, enter the
reset command followed by the slot number for the
module. For example, to reset the switching module in slot 4, enter:
reset 4
A message similar to the following displays:
Resetting slot of type xxxx may crash system
Attempt reset anyway {Y/N}? (N) :
Enter a Y and press <Enter> at this point. The module will be reset and the following message
will indicate the reset took place:
resetting slot 4 to enable
Disabling a Switching Module
The reset command can also be used to disable a switching module. When used in conjunc-
tion with the swap command, this option is useful if you want to hot swap a module. (See
Chapter 3, “Omni Switch/Router Switching Modules,” for information on how to hot swap a
switching module.)
To disable a switching module, enter the
reset command followed by the slot number for
the module and followed by disable at the system prompt. For example, to reset the switch-
ing module in slot 4, enter:
reset 4 disable
To enable the switching module again, enter the reset command followed by the slot number
for the module, and followed, optionally, by
enable (enable is the default for the reset
command). For example, to enable a previously disabled switching module in slot 4, enter:
reset 4 enable
