Rebooting the Switch

Rebooting the Switch

The reboot command should only be executed during network down time and when no data
is being transmitted across the network. Also, you should ensure that all configuration infor-
mation has been saved first. Note that the reboot command is only available to the admin and
the diag logins.
Caution
Rebooting the switch will disconnect a Telnet connec-
tion to the User Interface and will interrupt the
network connections on the switching modules.
To reboot the switch from the command line, enter
reboot
at the prompt and press <Enter>. The following prompt will display:
Confirm? (n) :
Enter Y. The following message displays:
Locking file system...locked
System going down immediately...

The switch will now take at least a minute to start up again. (If you are connected to the User
Interface with a serial connection, the console displays start-up related information.) The login
message displays when the reboot is complete:
Welcome to the Alcatel Omni Switch/Router! (Serial # xxxx)
