Restart the platform
Before you begin
Note
The command mode is key for this command. If you are logged on to a different command mode, such as Global Configuration mode, rather than Privileged EXEC mode, the system displays different options for this command.
About this task
Restart the switch to implement configuration changes or recover from a system failure. When you restart the system, you can specify the boot config file name. If you do not specify a boot source and file, the boot command uses the configuration files on the primary boot device defined by the boot config choice command.
After the switch restarts normally, it sends a cold trap within 45 seconds after the restart.
Procedure

Switch:1> enable
Restart the switch:
