Usage guidelines
CAUTION:
•
A reboot might interrupt network services.
•
If the main startup software images are corrupt or missing, you must re-specify a set of main startup
software images before executing the reboot command.
•
Use the force keyword only when the device fails or a reboot command without the force keyword cannot
perform a reboot correctly. A reboot command with the force keyword might result in file system corruption
because it does not perform data protection.
For data security, the device does not reboot if you reboot the device while the device is performing
file operations.
•
