Rebooting The Switch - Lenovo RackSwitch G8264 Command Reference Manual

Rebooting the Switch

© Copyright Lenovo 2017
You can reboot the switch to make your software image file and configuration
block changes occur.
Note: Rebooting the switch causes the Spanning Tree Group to restart. This
process can be lengthy, depending on the topology of your network.
Enter the following command to reboot (reload) the switch:
RS G8264# reload [no­dump]
You are prompted to confirm your request.
Reset will use software "image2" and the active config block.
>> Note that this will RESTART the Spanning Tree,
>> which will likely cause an interruption in network service.
Confirm reload (y/n) ?
Note: Before rebooting, the switch writes (saves) technical support information
(backup‐tech‐support) in a local file to flash memory. The no­dump option skips
this step, thereby decreasing the time needed for the switch to reboot. By default,
the switch saves technical support information before rebooting.
Technical support information (backup‐tech‐support) can be uploaded to an
external server using the following command:
copy backup­tech­support {ftp|sftp|tftp}
Command mode: Privileged EXEC
Note: Technical support information is stored in a compressed format. For details,
see page 723.
