XSR Getting Started Guide 3-35
Reload Command from the CLI
You can reboot the XSR firmware by issuing the command reload <cold | warm>. You are then
prompted to confirm the command. Once the firmware is reloaded, the configuration is loaded
from the startup-config file.
Bootrom Monitor Commands bc and bw
Using Bootrom Monitor mode, you can activate warm or cold reboots by entering bw or bc,
respectively. Refer to “Bootrom Monitor Mode Commands” on page 3-35 for more data.
Watchdog Timer Expiration
When the internal watchdog timer expires, causing the XSR to fail, fault information is captured in
a report and a warm boot is initiated. But if more than three warm boots are detected within one
minute, a cold boot will be initiated.
System Crash
When system exceptions occur causing the XSR to fail, fault information is captured in a report
and a warm boot is initiated. But if more than three warm boots are detected within one minute, a
cold boot will be initiated.
Restart with Default Configuration Interrupt
When you press the Default button on the back panel, the XSR restarts using factory default
parameters, ignoring the
startup-config file.
Power-up Error Conditions
After power-up, the XSR comes up automatically if:
• The minimum hardware is functional: Processor, RAM and FLASH memory, and other
components.
• Bootrom is valid.
• The software image in Flash is valid.
