reload <DEVICE-MAC-OR-HOSTNAME> Initiates device(s) reload and configures associated parameters

The following keyword is recursive and allows you to specify multiple devices:

  • <DEVICE-MAC-OR-HOSTNAME> – Optional. Reloads a specified device(s), identified by the <DEVICE-MAC-OR-HOSTNAME> keyword. Specify the device‘s hostname or MAC address.
    Note: If no device is specified, the system reloads the logged device.
