RESTART SWITCH

Syntax

restart switch config=nonefilename.cfg

Parameters
config	Specifies a configuration file. The file must already
	exist on the switch. The value NONE 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. This command does not change the assignment of the active boot configuration file (i.e., the configuration file the switch uses the next time it is reset). If you reset or power cycle the unit, the switch reverts back to its previous configuration. To change the active boot configuration file, refer to SET CONFIG on page 232.

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

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

❑This procedure does not delete files from the AT-S62 file system. To delete files, refer to DELETE FILE on page 230.

❑This procedure does not delete encryption keys stored in the key database. To delete encryption keys, refer to DESTROY ENCO KEY on page 512.

❑Returning a switch to its default values does not alter the contents of the active boot configuration file. To reset the active configuration file back to the default settings, you must use Save Configuration command after the switch reboots and you have reestablished your management session. Otherwise the switch will revert back to the previous configuration the next time you reset the unit.
