Rboot: Rebooting a Remote Router
Use the NCL Rboot command to reboot a remote router having version
A.08 or later operating code. Any changes made in the configuration or
password since the remote router was last booted will take effect.
Syntax
rboot X.X.X.X [community]
X.X.X.X is the IP address (in dotted decimal notation) of a port
on the remote router.
[community] is the SNMP community name to which the above
port is assigned.
If the remote router has no password, the router reboots immediately.
If the remote router has a manager password, you will be prompted to
enter the password before the reboot begins:
Enter remote password:
When the remote router reboots, you will see the message
Reboot Successful
Note If no message is received, the remote router may have a version of
operating code that predates version A.08 and does not support the
Rboot command.
If the reboot does not occur, you may see one of the following messages:
Password Incorrect
which means that the manager password for the remote router was
incorrect.
Timeout: no SNMP response recvd
A community name may be required, SNMP is not configured, or an
incorrect IP address may have been used.
