Rebooting the Switch

Rebooting the Switch

Rebooting the switch terminates the current console session and performs a reset of the operating system. Some of the reasons for performing a reboot include:

■Activating certain configuration changes that require a reboot

■Resetting statistical counters to zero

■Clearing the switch address table

To Reboot the switch, use the Reboot Switch option in the Main Menu. (If a Manager password has been previously set, Reboot Switch appears only if this password is entered at the beginning of the console session.)
