Information
The patch filename includes the FTOS version, the platform, the cpu, and the process it affects
(FTOS-platform-cpu-process-patchversion.rtp). For example, a patch labeled
7.8.1.0-EH-rp2-l2mgr-1.rtp identifies that this patch applies to FTOS version 7.8.1.0 - E-Series
platform, for RP2, addressing the layer 2 management process, and this is the first version of this patch.
There is no need to reload or reboot the system when the patch is inserted. The In-Service Modular
patch replaces the existing process code. Once installation is complete, the system executes the patch
code as though it was always there.

defined as a configured amount of restarts within a configured amount of time. On the software
exception that exceeds the limit, the system reloads (for systems with a single RPM) or fails over (for
systems with dual RPMs).
Syntax
process restartable [process] [count number] [period minutes]
Parameters
Defaults
By default, a process can be restarted a maximum of 3 times within 1 hour. On the exception that
