RESTART SWITCH
Syntax
restart switch config=none| filename .cfg
Parameters
config Specifies the configuration file. The file must already exist
on the master switch. The NONE option returns all of the
parameter settings in the stack to the default values.
Description
This command can load a different configuration file on the stack or return
the stack’s parameter settings to their default values. This command can
also be used to reset a stack.
If you specify a configuration file, the master switch automatically resets
itself and configures its parameters according to the settings in the
configuration file specified in the command. However, the assignment of
the active boot configuration file does not change. Resetting or power
cycling the stack again causes it to revert to its previous configuration. To
change the assignment of the active boot configuration file, refer to “SET
CONFIG” on page 171.
Specifying the NONE option returns the stack’s operating parameters to
the default setting. Note the following before using this option:
ˆ Returning all parameter settings to their default values deletes all
routing interfaces as well as all port-based and tagged VLANs on the
switch.
ˆ This option does not delete files from the file system on the master
switch. To delete files, refer to “DELETE FILE” on page 166.
ˆ Returning the parameter settings of a stack to their default values does
not change the settings in the active boot configuration file. To return
the active configuration file to the default settings, you must use the
SAVE CONFIGURATION command after the stack reboots and you
have reestablished your management session. Otherwise, the stack
reverts to the previous configuration the next time you reset it.
Note
The stack does not forward network traffic during the reset process.
Some network traffic may be lost.
