Rebooting the RouterΒΆ

The reboot command, available in config mode, initiates an operating system reboot. This is equivalent to using the shutdown -r command from a shell prompt.

Warning

This action will cause an outage until the system fully restarts.

The general form of the reboot command is:

tnsr(config)# reboot (now|<minutes>) [force]
tnsr(config)# reboot cancel

The command has a few available options to control its behavior:

now:

Prompts for confirmation and then immediately initiates a reboot.

<minutes>:

Prompts for confirmation and then schedules a reboot for the given number of minutes in the future.

force:

Modifies either the now or <minutes> format commands to run without confirmation.

cancel:

Cancels a previously scheduled reboot.
