NETGEAR 8800 User Manual
• Upgraded the switch to a new core image (see Installing a Core Image on page 804 for
more information)
• Downloaded the corresponding modular software package to your TFTP server. On a
modular switch, you can download the modular software package to an external compact
flash memory card (see
Downloading a New Image on page 801 for more information)
The first example uses the terminate process and start process commands to terminate
and restart the processes associated with the software module that you are updating:
terminate process exsshd graceful
download image 10.10.10.2 ng8800-11.3.0.10-ssh.xmod
run update
start process exsshd
The second example uses the restart process command to terminate and restart the
processes associated with the software module that you are updating:
download image 10.10.10.2 ng8800-11.3.0.10-ssh.xmod
run update
restart process exsshd
Rebooting the Switch
To reboot the switch, use one of the following commands:
reboot {time <month> <day> <year> <hour> <min> <sec>} {cancel} {msm <slot_id>}
{slot <slot-number> | node-address <node-address> | stack-topology {as-standby}
}
Use this command to schedule a time to reboot the switch or to reboot the switch
immediately. To schedule a time to reboot the switch, use the following command:
reboot time <date> <time>
Where date is the date and time is the time (using a 24-hour clock format) when the switch
will be rebooted. The values use the following format:
mm dd yyyy hh mm ss
Note: When you configure a timed reboot of the switch, use the show
switch command to see the scheduled time.
To reboot the switch immediately, use the following command:
reboot
If you do not specify a reboot time, the reboot occurs immediately following the command,
and any previously schedule reboots are cancelled. To cancel a previously scheduled reboot,
use the
cancel option.
