reload
Synopsis:
The reload command reboots the chassis.
Syntax:
reload
Command Modes:
Privileged-execute mode.
Privilege Level:
General read-write user.
Usage Guidelines:
At stages of chassis and interface setup you need to reinitialize chassis firmware or restore interface card
configurations. You may power-cycle by unplugging and replugging the electrical cord to the system chassis
but this approach is not recommended. The reload command is recommended because it allows the chassis to
close files and prepare for shutdown. reload brings down the entire system chassis and restarts all the cards
in the chassis.
The system prompts for you to verify the reload. If you had not already saved configuration changes, and the
system detects the changes, it prompts you to save. If you enter yes, the new configuration is stored in
startup-config. You may optionally save the configuration to an alternate file by entering the file name,
followed by a carriage-return.
The system reinitializes itself and then loads the system-image and the startup-config file. Wait a few
minutes and attempt to log onto the chassis.
Examples:
HP-IB# reload
System configuration has been modified. Save?
[yes(default)/no/*.cfg] yes
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
HP-IB#
Connection to host lost.
