You can reboot the device in one of the following ways to recover from an error condition:
•
Reboot the device immediately at the CLI.
•
At the CLI, schedule a reboot to occur at a specific time and date or after a delay.
•
Power off and then power on the device. This method might cause data loss and hardware
damage, and is the least preferred method.
•
Reboot at the CLI enables easy remote device maintenance.
Rebooting devices immediately at the CLI
To reboot a device, perform the following task in user view:
Task
Reboot a switch
Scheduling a device reboot
The switch supports only one device reboot schedule. If you configure the schedule reboot delay
command multiple times, the last configuration takes effect.
The schedule reboot at command and the schedule reboot delay command overwrite each other,
and whichever is configured last takes effect.
For data security, if you are performing file operations at the reboot time, the system does not reboot.
To schedule a device reboot, perform the following task in user view:
Task
Schedule a reboot.
Command
reboot [ slot slot-number ]
Command

Use either command.
The scheduled reboot function is
disabled by default.
In Release 5213, executing the
clock datetime, clock
summer-time, or clock
timezone command cancels the
reboot schedule. In Release
5213P02 and later, you can
specify the ignore-time-change
keyword to retain the reboot
schedule regardless of a system
time change.
The ignore-time-change
keyword is available in Release
5213P02 and later.
