Rebooting When a Command Takes a Prolonged Time to Execute

Although some commands might take a relatively long time to execute, most do not. If the CLI displays no output other than “ Please wait...” for a prolonged period, you can press Ctrl+x to reset the system. Use Ctrl+x only as a last resort; if at all possible, wait until the command is completed, or attempt to connect to the system through a Telnet or SSH client through which you can use the reload command.

service ctrl-x-reboot

• Use to enable the Ctrl+x key combination to reset the system from any location.
• Issuing the Ctrl+x command has no effect if you are accessing the system through Telnet.
• This feature is disabled by default.
• Loading the factory default configuration does not override this feature.
• Example

  host1(config)#service ctrl-x-reboot

• Use the no version to disable this feature.
• See service ctrl-x-reboot.
