Preparing to Boot a Router
You access the boot function in the Site Manager main window by choosing
Administration from the main menu bar.
Booting a router warm-starts every processor module in the router. Pressing the
Reset button on the front panel of the router performs the same procedure.
Booting interrupts router operation, so plan your boot carefully. Before you boot
the router, decide the following:
• Which router you are booting
• Whether to use the default configuration and image files, or files you specify
• Whether to use a scheduled boot
Booting with the Default Configuration and Image Files
To boot the router using the default configuration file (config) and image file,
press the Reset button on the router’s front panel.
You typically perform this type of boot when testing a new configuration file. If
the router does not boot properly, you can press the Reset button to boot the router
using the default config file.
Note:
You can use Site Manager to warm-start a router only. To cold-start a
router to initiate diagnostic tests, you must physically turn off and then turn on
the router, or use the Technician Interface
diags
command. See Using
Technician Interface Software for information about the
diags
command.
