Task 9: Reboot the System

To reboot the system using the newly installed software:

  1. Run the boot system command, specifying the .rel filename of the software release. For example:
    :boot##boot system erx_x-y-z.rel

    The following message appears when you issue this command:

    WARNING: We recommend that you copy the current running-configuration to a file prior to reloading a different release of software.
  2. Run the reload command.
    :boot##reload

    The following message appears when you issue this command:

    WARNING: Execution of this command will cause the system to reboot. Proceed with reload? [confirm]

    The system reboots. The reboot might take longer than normal because line modules initialize with the old version of the software, acquire the new version from the SRP module, and reinitialize. When you observe the LEDs on the line modules, the line modules appear to boot twice.
