Chapter 17 Managing System Commands
Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide 231
Rebooting the module or switch
It is highly recommended that you use the system reboot command to reboot a
module in the M770 ATM Switch or the entire switch, instead of using the reset
button. This is because the system reboot command first flushes any outstanding
configuration updates to the non-volatile memory, whereas pressing the reset
button may cause configuration information to be lost.
To reboot the module or switch, use the system reboot [module|switch]
command. You will be prompted to confirm the operation.
Note: When the M770 ATM Switch is rebooted, all connections will be lost.
Viewing the current switch memory allocation
You can view the current breakdown of memory allocation on the modules. The
total amount of memory is equal to the amount of RAM memory you have in the
module.
To display the current M770 ATM Switch memory allocation, use the system
memory command.
Viewing time received from the time server
A time server is a server that provides the date and time, (as specified by RFC 868),
such as a UNIX machine running ‘timed’ to the M770 ATM Switch. For information
about setting up a time server, see Viewing or Changin g the IP Ti me Server Address
in Chapter 4, “Managing Miscellaneous Commands”.
To view the current time received from the time server, use the system time
command.
