94 CLI Basics
If you make an error when performing configurations in Step 2 that results in
the loss of switch connectivity (for example, an error in the IP address mask,
MLT configuration, or VLAN trunking), the reload command provides you
with a safeguard: when the reload timer expires, the switch reboots to the
last saved configuration, and connectivity is re-established. Therefore, you
do not have to travel to the remote site to reconfigure the switch.
Initiate the reload command before you start the switch configuration
commands. Once you initiate the command in the CLI, the following
message appears:
Reload (y/n) ?
Enter yes at this prompt to set the switch reload.
The following warning message then appears:
Warning the switch has been set to reload in <xx> minutes.
Current configuration has NOT been saved. Configuration must
be explicitly saved.
Once the reload timer expires, the switch resets, reloads the last saved
configuration, and re-enables the autosave feature.
The syntax for the reload command is:
reload [force] [minutes-to-wait <1-60>] [cancel]

Description
force Instructs the switch to skip the reload confirmation prompt.
minutes-to-wait
<1-60>]
Specifies the number of minutes that pass before the switch
reloads itself. The default wait time is set at 10 minutes.
cancel Aborts all scheduled switch reloads
The reload command is executed in the Privileged EXEC command mode.
shutdown command
The shutdown command lets you safely shut down and power off the
switch. Once the shutdown command is initiated, the switch saves the
current configuration and instructs users to power off the switch within the
specified time period (1 to 60 minutes); otherwise, the switch performs a
reset.
