reload

This command resets the device with or without saving the configuration to flash memory.

Syntax

# reload {if-needed|now|without-saving}

Command	Description
if-needed [graceful]	Resets the device only if you have configured parameters that require a device reset for their new settings to take effect. The restart can be done immediately or upon certain conditions: ■ reload if-needed: Restarts the device immediately. ■ reload if-needed graceful <seconds>: Restarts the device only after the user-defined period (in seconds) elapses.
now [graceful]	Resets the device immediately and saves configuration (including Auxiliary files) to flash memory (before reset). The reset can be done immediately or upon certain conditions: ■ reload now : Resets the device immediately. ■ reload now graceful <seconds>: Resets the device only after the user-defined period (in seconds) elapses. ■ reload now graceful if-no-calls: ✔ If calls exist, the device doesn't reset and displays "Not Good (In Call)". ✔ If no calls exist, the device resets immediately and displays "OK". ✔ If the device is unable to restart (for whatever reason), it displays "Not Good".
without-saving [in <Minutes>|graceful <Seconds>]	Resets the device without saving configuration to flash memory. You can also configure a delay time before reset occurs: ■ in: Resets the device only after a user-defined period (in minutes). Use this before making changes to sensitive settings. If your changes cause the device to lose connectivity, wait for the device to restart with the previous working configuration. ■ graceful: Resets the device within a user-defined graceful period (in seconds) to allow currently active calls (if any) to end. During this graceful period, no new calls are accepted. If all currently active calls end before the graceful period expires, the device resets immediately (instead of waiting for the graceful period to expire). If there are active calls when the graceful period expires, the device terminates the calls and resets. To cancel the delayed reset, use the no reload command.
