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:
• Enter ACLI command reload force minutes-to-wait 30. This instructs the switch
to reboot in 30 minutes and load the configuration from NVRAM. During the 30-minute
period, autosave of the configuration to NVRAM is disabled.
• Execute dynamic switch configuration commands, which take effect immediately. These
configurations are not saved to NVRAM.
• If the configurations cause no problems and switch connectivity is maintained, you can
perform one of the following tasks:
• Save the current running configuration using the copy config nvram, command.
• Cancel the reload using the reload cancel command.
If you make an error while executing the dynamic switch configuration commands that results
in loss of switch connectivity (for example, if you make an error in the IP address mask, in the
Multi-Link Trunking configuration, or in 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. Consequently, you need not travel to the
remote site to reconfigure the switch.

restore factory-default command

The restore factory-default command resets both switch and stack NVRAM blocks to
the default configuration. The first NVRAM block will be active after the switch and stack
resets.
The syntax for the restore factory-default command is:
Configuration — System
Instruct the switch to skip the reload confirmation prompt.
Specify the number of minutes that pass before the switch resets
itself. The default wait time is 10 minutes.
Cancel all scheduled switch reloads.
