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.
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:
❑ Returning the switch to its default values deletes all port-based
and tagged VLANs you may have created on the switch.
❑ This option does not delete files from the AT-S63 file system. To
delete files, refer to “DELETE FILE” on page 148.
❑ This option does not delete encryption keys stored in the key
database. To delete encryption keys, refer to “DESTROY ENCO
KEY” on page 382.
❑ Returning a switch to its default values does not change the
settings in the active boot configuration file.
❑ 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
For a list of default values, refer to Appendix A, “AT-S63 Default
Settings” in the AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface User’s
Guide or in the AT-S63 Management Software Web Browser Interface
User’s Guide.
