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. However, the assignment of the active boot
configuration file does not change. Resetting or power cycling the switch
again causes the unit to revert to its previous configuration. To change the
assignment of the active boot configuration file, refer to “SET CONFIG” on
page 197.
Specifying the NONE option returns the switch’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 AT-S63 file system. To delete
files, refer to “DELETE FILE” on page 191.
ˆ This option does not delete encryption keys stored in the key
database. To delete encryption keys, refer to “DESTROY ENCO KEY”
on page 654.
ˆ Returning a switch to its default values does not change the settings in
the active boot configuration file.
ˆ This command does not change the assignment of the active boot
configuration file, the configuration file the switch uses the next time it
is reset. 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.
