reload command
The reload command provides you with a configuration rollback
mechanism to prevent loss of connectivity to a switch, typically for remote
configurations. The reload command lets you temporarily disable the
autosave feature for a specified time period (1 to 60 minutes), allowing you
to make a number of configuration changes on remote switches without
affecting the current saved configuration.
During the interval in which the autosave feature is disabled by the reload
command, you must use the copy config nvram, write memory,or
save config command to force a manual save of your configurations.
Once the reload timer expires, the switch reloads the last saved
configuration. To abort the switch reload before the timer expires, you must
enter the reload cancel command.
The reload command provides you with a safeguard against any
misconfigurations when you perform dynamic configuration changes on
a remote switch.
The following example describes how you can use the reload command
to prevent connectivity loss to a remote switch.
Step Action
1
Enter the CLI command reload force 30. This instructs the
switch to reboot in 30 minutes, loading the configuration from
NVRAM.
During this 30-minute period, autosave of the configuration to
NVRAM is disabled.
2
Execute dynamic switch configuration commands, which take effect
immediately. These configurations are not saved to NVRAM.
3
If the configurations cause no problems and switch connectivity is
maintained, you can perform the following:
4
Save the current running configuration using the copy config
nvram, write memory, or save config command.
5
Since the new configuration is working properly, cancel the reload
using the reload cancel command.
