Rebooting the switch
When you reboot the switch, the reboot takes effect immediately. Ensure that there is no traffic or
other management on the switch, as traffic is interrupted during the reboot; however, frames are
not dropped. Be sure to save your changes before the reboot, as any changes that were not saved
are lost.
