Restarting the pgcpd Process

Caution: We recommend that you do not restart the software process unless instructed to do so by a Juniper Networks customer support engineer. A restart might cause the router to drop calls and interrupt transmission.

Three options are available when you restart the pgcpd process:

• gracefully—Restart the software process after calls have ended.
• immediately—Immediately restart the software process.
• soft— Reread and reactivate the configuration without completely restarting the software process.
