Resetting a Switching Module

Resetting a Switching Module
The reset command initiates a soft reset on the module in a specified slot. Conceptually,
resetting a switching module with this command is similar to switching off power to the
module; the module will be in the same state after a reset as it is after a power on.
♦ Notes ♦
Some NI modules do not support the reset command.
The primary MPX module cannot be reset. To reset the
secondary MPX , use the secreset command, which is
described in Chapter 6, “Configuring Management
Processor Modules.”
To reset a switching module, enter the reset command followed by the slot number for the
module. For example, to reset the switching module in slot 4, enter:
reset 4
A message similar to the following displays:
Resetting slot of type xxxx may crash system
Attempt reset anyway {Y/N}? (N) :
Enter a Y and press <Enter> at this point. The module will be reset and the following message
will indicate the reset took place:
resetting slot 4 to enable
Disabling a Switching Module
The reset command can also be used to disable a switching module. When used in conjunc-
tion with the swap command, this option is useful if you want to hot swap a module. (See
Chapter 3, “Omni Switch/Router Switching Modules,” for information on how to hot swap a
switching module.)
To disable a switching module, enter the reset command followed by the slot number for
the module and followed by disable at the system prompt. For example, to reset the switch-
ing module in slot 4, enter:
reset 4 disable
To enable the switching module again, enter the reset command followed by the slot number
for the module, and followed, optionally, by
enable ( enable is the default for the reset
command). For example, to enable a previously disabled switching module in slot 4, enter:
reset 4 enable
