Chapter 7 Basic SCE 1000 Platform Operations

Performing Complex Configurations

Performing Complex Configurations

After you have installed your SCE 1000 platform hardware, checked all external connections, turned on the system power, allowed the system to boot up, and performed the initial system configuration, you might need to perform more complex configurations, which are beyond the scope of this publication.

For further information on system and interface configuration, refer to the following documents:

Rebooting and Shutting Down the SCE Platform

Rebooting the SCE Platform

Rebooting the SCE 1000 platform is required after installing a new firmware, in order for that firmware to take effect. There might be other occasions where rebooting the SCE 1000 platform is necessary.

Note When the SCE restarts, it loads the startup configuration, so all changes made in the running configuration will be lost. You are advised to save the running configuration before performing reload, as described in Saving the Configuration Settings (on page 7-6).

To reboot your SCE 1000 platform, complete the following steps:

Step 1 At the SCE 1000# prompt, type reload and press Enter.

A confirmation message appears.

Step 2 Type Y to confirm the reboot request and press Enter.

EXAMPLE:

The following example shows the commands for system reboot.

SCE 1000# reload

Are you sure? y

the system is about to reboot, this will end your CLI session
