boot

Restart the switch to implement configuration changes or recover from a system failure. When you restart the system, you can specify an optional configuration file to use to load the device. If no config file is specified, the run-time CLI uses the configuration file specified by the boot config choice command. The image booted is that specified by the software activate command.
