Description

Restart a Junos OS process.

Caution: Never restart a software process unless instructed to do so by a customer support engineer. A restart might cause the router or switch to drop calls and interrupt transmission, resulting in possible loss of data.

dot1x-protocol

(EX Series switch only) (Optional) Restart the port-based network access control process.

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.

ethernet-link-fault-management

(EX Series switch only) (Optional) Restart the Ethernet OAM link fault management process.

ethernet-switching

(EX Series switch only) (Optional) Restart the Ethernet switching process.

(Optional) Restart the firewall management process, which manages firewall configuration.

general-authentication-service

(EX Series switch only) (Optional) Restart the general authentication process.

gracefully

(Optional) Restart the software process.

immediately

(Optional) Immediately restart the software process.

interface-control

(Optional) Restart the interface process, which controls the router's or switch’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.

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.

license-service

(EX Series switch only) (Optional) Restart the feature license management process.

link-management

(TX Matrix and TX Matrix Plus routers and EX Series switches only) (Optional) Restart the Link Management Protocol (LMP) process, which establishes and maintains LMP control channels.

lldpd-service

(EX Series switch only) (Optional) Restart the Link Layer Discovery Protocol process.

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 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 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.

service-deployment

(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 or switch’s SNMP master agent.

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.
