Reset Port-Network - Avaya S8700 Maintenance Manual

Maintenance Commands

reset port-network

reset port-network PN# level [1 | 2]
!
CAUTION:
A reset of level 2 is destructive, causing all calls and application links on the
specified PN to drop. PN resets are described under EXP-PN in
Chapter 8
This command resets a specified port network to a specified level. This does not
cause an interchange on a system with duplicated PNC. The command will not
execute on the PN whose fiber link to the PN or CSS is down.
For S8700 Multi-Connect, this command is modified so that the port network
number is 1 - 64.
Parameters
PN# Port network number
Use list cabinet to find the PN number(s) associated with a given cabinet.
level 1 | 2 Reset level 1 (WARM restart) is used to restart a PN that is still fully or partially in
service. All stable calls are preserved, and full service is restored within 35
seconds.
Reset level 2 (COLD restart) results in reset, removal, and reinsertion of all PN
circuit packs. It is used to recover a PN that has been taken out of service. Level
2 restarts should take less than 2 minutes. All calls and application links with an
endpoint in the PN are dropped. If two level 2 resets within an hour fail to return
the PN to service, PN Emergency Transfer is invoked. (PN Emergency Transfer
will already be in effect if the link to the PN has been down for more than 1
minute).
Examples

NOTE:
