Reload command

The reload CLI command provides you with a configuration rollback
mechanism to prevent loss of connectivity to a switch, typically for remote
configurations.
Use the reload command to temporarily disable the autosave feature for
a specified time period (1 to 60 minutes), so you can make configuration
changes on remote switches without affecting the currently saved
configuration.
During the interval in which the autosave feature is disabled by the reload
command, you must use the copy config nvram command to manually
save your configurations.
Initiate the reload command before you start the switch configuration
commands. After 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 appears:
Warning the switch/stack has been set to reload in <xx>
minutes.
Configuration must be explicitly saved.
After 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]
The following table describes the parameters and variables for the reload
command.
