Rebooting the device
You can reboot the device in one of the following ways to recover from an error condition:
• Reboot the device immediately at the CLI.
• At the CLI, schedule a reboot to occur at a specific time and date or after a delay.
• Power off and then re-power on the device. This method might cause data loss and hardware
damage, and is the least preferred method.
Reboot at the CLI enables easy remote device maintenance.
CAUTION:
• A reboot can interrupt network services.
• To avoid data loss, use the save command to save the current configuration before a reboot.
• Use the display startup and display boot-loader commands to check that you have correctly set the
startup configuration file and the main system software image file. If the main system software image file
has been corrupted or does not exist, the device cannot reboot. You must re-specify a main system
software image file, or power off the device and then power it on so the system can reboot with the
backup system software image file.
Rebooting the device immediately at the CLI
Perform the following command in user view to reboot the device:
To do… Use the command… Remarks

Scheduling a device reboot
Perform one of the following commands in user view to schedule a device reboot:
To do… Use the command… Remarks

specific time and date
schedule reboot at hh:mm [ date ]
Schedule a reboot to occur after a

schedule reboot delay { hh:mm |
mm }
Required
Use either command.
The scheduled reboot function is
disabled by default.
The two commands overwrite each
other.
NOTE:
• The system displays the alert “REBOOT IN ONE MINUTE” one minute before the reboot.
• For data security, if you are performing file operations at the reboot time, the system does not reboot.
