Description

The RESET DEVICE command resets the Bridge Module. The setting for the diagnostics parameter determines whether diagnostics will execute during a reset. Use the SHOW DEVICE command to display the diagnostic parameter setting. Use the SET DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC command to enable or disable diagnostics.

Enabling diagnostics results in the diagnostics executing during a reset (i.e., a cold boot). Disabling diagnostics results in no diagnostics being executed during a reset (i.e., a soft boot).

The RESET DEVICE command has the same effect as pressing the Reset button on the bridge front panel.

When you reset the Bridge Module, traffic forwarding is briefly interrupted. You must log back in to the bridge once the reset is complete to execute additional commands.

Note that you must SAVE or REVERT unsaved changes before this command will execute.
