![]() |
Caution: Never restart a software process unless instructed to do so by a customer support engineer. A restart might cause the router to drop calls and interrupt transmission, resulting in possible loss of data. |
none — Same as gracefully.
adaptive-services — (Optional) Restart the configuration management process that manages the configuration for stateful firewall, Network Address Translation (NAT), intrusion detection services (IDS), and IP Security (IPSec) services on the Adaptive Services PIC.
audit-process — (Optional) Restart the RADIUS accounting process.
chassis-control — (Optional) Restart the chassis management process.
class-of-service — (Optional) Restart the class-of-service (CoS) process, which controls the router's CoS configuration.
dhcp — (J Series router only) (Optional) Restart the software process for a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server allocates network IP addresses and delivers configuration settings to client hosts without user intervention.
dialer-services — (J Series router only) (Optional) Restart the ISDN dial out process.
disk-monitoring — (Optional) Restart disk monitoring, which checks the health of the hard disk drive on the Routing Engine.
dlsw — (J Series router only) (Optional) Restart the data link switching (DLSw) service.
dynamic-flow-capture — (Optional) Restart the dynamic flow capture (DFC) process, which controls DFC configurations on Monitoring Services III PICs.
ecc-error-logging — (Optional) Restart the error checking and correcting (ECC) process, which logs ECC parity errors in memory on the Routing Engine.
event-processing — (Optional) Restart the event process (eventd).
firewall — (Optional) Restart the firewall management process, which manages firewall configuration.
interface-control — (Optional) Restart the interface process, which controls the router's physical interface devices and logical interfaces.
ipsec-key-management — (Optional) Restart the IPSEC key management process.
isdn-signaling — (J Series router only) (Optional) Restart the ISDN signaling process, which initiates ISDN connections.
kernel-replication — (Optional) Restart the kernel replication process, which replicates the state of the backup Routing Engine when graceful Routing Engine switchover is configured.
l2-learning — (Optional) Restart the Layer 2 address flooding and learning process.
l2tp-service — (Optional) (M10, M10i, and M7i routers only) Restart the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) process, which establishes L2TP tunnels and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) sessions through L2TP tunnels.
lacp — (Optional) Restart the link aggregation control protocol process.
link-management — (TX Matrix and TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) Restart the Link Management Protocol (LMP) process, which establishes and maintains LMP control channels.
mib-process — (Optional) Restart the Management Information Base (MIB) II process, which provides the router's MIB II agent.
network-access-service — (J Series router only) (Optional) Restart the network access process, which provides the router's Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) authentication service.
pgcp-service — (Optional) Restart the pgcpd service process running on the Routing Engine. This option does not restart pgcpd processes running on mobile station Physical Interface Cards (PICs). To restart pgcpd processes running on mobile station PICs, use the services pgcp gateway option.
pgm — (Optional) Restart the process that implements the Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) protocol for assisting in the reliable delivery of multicast packets.
pic-services-logging — (Optional) Restart the logging process for some Physical Interface Cards (PICs). With this process, also known as fsad (the file system access daemon), PICs send special logging information to the Routing Engine for archiving on the hard disk.
ppp — (Optional) Restart the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) process.
pppoe — (Optional) Restart the Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) process.
protected-system-domain-service — (Optional) Restart the Protected System Domain (PSD) process.
redundancy-interface-process — (Optional) Restart the ASP redundancy process.
remote-operations — (Optional) Restart the remote operations process, which provides the ping and traceroute MIBs.
root-system-domain-service — (Optional) Restart the Root System Domain (RSD) service.
routing <logical-system logical-system-name> — (Optional) Restart the routing protocol process, which controls the routing protocols that run on the router and maintains the routing tables. Optionally, restart the routing protocol process for the specified logical system only.
sampling — (Optional) Restart the sampling process, which performs packet sampling and cflowd export.
service-development — (Optional) Restart the service deployment service process.
services pgcp gateway gateway-name — (Optional) Restart the pgcpd process for a specific BGF running on an MS-PIC. This option does not restart the pgcpd process running on the Routing Engine. To restart the pgcpd process on the Routing Engine, use the pgcp-service option.
snmp — (Optional) Restart the SNMP process, which provides the router's SNMP master agent.
usb-control — (J Series router only) (Optional) Restart the USB control process.
web-management — (J Series router only) (Optional) Restart the Web management process.
all-chassis — (TX Matrix and TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) Restart the software process on all chassis.
all-lcc — (TX Matrix and TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) For a TX Matrix router, restart the software process on all T640 routers connected to the TX Matrix router. For a TX Matrix Plus router, restart the software process on all T1600 routers connected to the TX Matrix Plus router.
all-sfc — (TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) For a TX Matrix Plus router, restart the software processes for the TX Matrix Plus router (or switch-fabric chassis).
lcc number — (TX Matrix and TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) For a TX Matrix router, restart the software process for a specific T640 router that is connected to the TX Matrix router. For a TX Matrix Plus router, restart the software process for a specific T1600 router that is connected to the TX Matrix Plus router. Replace number with a value from 0 through 3.
scc — (TX Matrix routers only) Restart the software process on the TX Matrix router (or switch-card chassis).
sfc number — (TX Matrix Plus routers only) Restart the software process on the TX Matrix Plus router (or switch-fabric chassis). Replace number with 0.
gracefully — (Optional) Restart the software process.
immediately — (Optional) Immediately restart the software process.
soft — (Optional) Reread and reactivate the configuration without completely restarting the software processes. For example, BGP peers stay up and the routing table stays constant. Omitting this option results in a graceful restart of the software process.
