Usage Guidelines
Use the reload command to reboot the system, or to reboot a specific module, or to force a netboot on a
specific module. The reload command used by itself, powers down all the modules and reboots the
supervisor modules.
Use the reload module module-number command, if the given slot has a module or standby supervisor
module, to power-cycle that module. If the given slot has an active supervisor module, then it causes the
currently active supervisor module to reboot and the standby supervisor module becomes active.
The reload module module-number force-dnld command is similar to the previous command. This
command forces netboot to be performed. If the slot contains a module, then the module netboots with
the latest firmware and updates its corresponding flash with this image.
