CAUTION:

•Device reboot can interrupt network services.

•To avoid data loss, use the save command to save the current configuration before a reboot.

•Use the display startup and display boot-loader commands to verify that you have correctly set the startup configuration file and the main system software image file. If the main system software image file has been corrupted or does not exist, the device cannot reboot.
