RESTART SWITCH

Syntax

restart switch config=none|

filename

.cfg

Parameters

config

Specifies the configuration file. The file must already exist

on the switch. The NONE option returns the switch to its
default values.

Description

This command loads a different configuration file on the switch or returns
the switch’s parameter settings to their default values. This command can
also be used to reset the switch.

If you specify a configuration file, the switch automatically resets itself and
configures its parameters according to the settings in the configuration file
specified in the command.

Specifying the NONE option returns the switch’s operating parameters to
the default setting. Please note the following before using this option:

ˆ

Returning the switch to its default values deletes all port-based and
tagged VLANs you may have created on the switch.

ˆ

This option does not delete files from the AT-S63 file system. To delete
files, refer to “DELETE FILE” on page 213.

ˆ

This option does not delete encryption keys stored in the key
database. To delete encryption keys, refer to “DESTROY ENCO KEY”
on page 618.

ˆ

Returning a switch to its default values does not change the settings in
the active boot configuration file.

ˆ

To reset the active configuration file back to the default settings, you
must use the SAVE CONFIGURATION command after the switch
reboots and you have reestablished your management session.
Otherwise, the switch reverts to the previous configuration the next
time you reset the switch.

Note

The switch does not forward network traffic during the reset process.
Some network traffic may be lost.
