IBM SC30-3681-08 manual Reloading or Restarting the Router, Exiting the Router

You may have to press the Enter key more than once or press Ctrl-Pto obtain the * prompt.

Once at this level, you can begin to enter commands from the keyboard. Press the Backspace key to delete the last character typed in on the command line. Press the Delete key or Ctrl-Uto delete the whole command line entry so that you can reenter a command. See ªCommand History for GWCON and CONFIG Command Lineº on page 21 for information on how to access previously entered commands.

You can also use local Telnet commands on your Telnet client to close the

Telnet connection.

Note: If you use a VT100 terminal, do not press the Backspace key, because

it inserts invisible characters. Use the Delete key.

5. Exit the router as described in ªExiting the Routerº.

Reloading or Restarting the Router

Use the reload command to reboot the device and load a new copy of the code

into memory.

For example:

* reload

The configuration has been changed, save it? (Yes or [No] or Abort)

Are you sure you want to reload the gateway? (Yes or [No]): yes

Use the restart command to invoke a new con®guration. For example, to change a

con®guration parameter that is not dynamically con®gurable, you can make and

save the change, then restart the device.

Restart does dot reload the code, it simply invokes the new con®guration. As a

result, restart is much faster than reload.

For example:

* restart

The configuration has been changed, save it? (Yes or [No] . . . or Abort)

Are you sure you want to restart the gateway? (Yes or [No]): yes

Exiting the Router

Return to the * prompt and close the Telnet connection. For example:

IP Config> exit

Config> Ctrl-P

*logout

You can also use local Telnet commands on your Telnet client to close the Telnet connection.
