Description

Operator Parameters/Permissions Description

reboot [Reboot] <reboot>

Administrator

Reboots the switch. Be aware that most switch attributes are persistent, so if you reboot, you will need to manually start any switch attribute that you had stopped before the switch reboot (for example, the LECS switch attribute).

Do not enter this command from a telnet session because it breaks any connection you have with the switch. You should be located near the switch—most probably the switch console—so you can conveniently reconnect to the switch from there.

Press any key during the first seven seconds after entering this command as a way to avoid the full switch diagnostic session. By pressing any key and then typing go, the switch will conduct a basic diagnostic session. See the following example for more details:
