	Using the CONFIG (Talk 6) Process
Bridging	v Bridging was not already active.
	v NetBIOS ®lters are de®ned on the spare interface.
	v The spare interface caused a change to the bridge personality or
	behavior (for example, adding SR port to pure TB bridge or SR-TB
	conversion enabled).
IP	Use the reset IP command to bring con®guration changes online for
	access-controls and packet-®lters.
WAN Restoral/	The spare interface cannot be activated if any of the following conditions
WAN Reroute	exist:
	v The spare interface is con®gured as a WRS primary, and its con®gured
	WRS secondary is already a WRS primary or WRR primary or WRR
	alternate.
	v The spare interface is con®gured as a WRS primary, and its con®gured
	WRS secondary is already actively restoring some other WRS primary.
	v The spare interface is con®gured as a WRS secondary, and its
	con®gured WRS primary is already a WRS secondary or WRR primary or
	WRR alternate.
	v The spare interface is con®gured as a WRS secondary, and its
	con®gured WRS primary is already actively being restored by some other
	WRS secondary.
	v The spare interface is con®gured as a WRR primary, and its con®gured
	WRR alternate is already a WRS primary or WRS secondary or WRR
	primary or WRR alternate.
	v The spare interface is con®gured as a WRR alternate, and its con®gured
	WRR primary is already a WRS primary or WRS secondary or WRR
	alternate.
	v The spare interface is con®gured as a WRR alternate, and its con®gured
	WRR primary is already actively being rerouted by some other WRR
	alternate.

Resetting Interfaces

Occasionally, you might need to change the con®guration of a network interface along with its bridging and routing protocols without restarting the device. The reset command allows you to disable a network interface and then enable it using new interface, bridging and routing con®guration parameters.

The interface, protocols and features con®guration parameters are changed using the CONFIG process (talk 6) commands. The talk 6 commands affect the contents of the con®guration memory. The con®guration changes are activated by issuing the GWCON process (talk 5) reset command.

To reset an interface:

1.Access the CONFIG process (talk 6).

2.Use the net command and other commands to change con®guration parameters.

3.Use the protocol and feature commands to change the interface-based con®guration parameters.

4.Exit the CONFIG process by pressing Ctrl-P.

5.Access the GWCON process (talk 5).
