Starting Processes

To start a process, use the following command:

start process name {msm slot}

In a SummitStack:

start process name {slot slot}

Where the following is true:

name	Specifies the name of the process to start. You can start the following processes: bgp, eaps exsshd (available only when you have installed the SSH module), isis, lldp, netLogin, netTools, ospf, snmpMaster, snmpSubagent, telnetd, thttpd, tftpd, vrrp, xmld
slot	On a SummitStack, specifies the node‘s slot number. The number is a value from 1 to 8.

Error: Process telnetd already exists!

Note

After you stop a process, do not change the configuration on the switch until you start the process again. A new process loads the configuration that was saved prior to stopping the process. Changes made between a process termination and a process start are lost, and error messages can result when you start the new process.

As described in the section, Stopping Processes, you can use a single command, rather than multiple commands, to stop and restart a running process.

Stop and restart a process during a software upgrade.
restart process [class cname | name {msm slot}]
In a SummitStack:
restart process [class cname | name {slot slot}]
For more detailed information, see Stopping Processes.
