reset

Use the reset command to restart the system or an individual module.

reset {mod_num | system}

Syntax Description

mod_num	Number of the module to be restarted.
system	Keyword used to reset the system to its default values.

Default

This command has no default setting.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

If no module number or module number of the active supervisor engine module is specified, the command resets the entire system.

You can use the reset mod_num command to switch to the standby supervisor engine, where mod_num is the slot number of the active supervisor.

Where mod_num is an RSM, both the RSM hardware and software are completely reset.
