reload

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

Syntax

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

Command	Description
if-needed [graceful]	Restarts the device only if you have configured parameters that require a device restart 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]	Restarts the device immediately and saves configuration (including Auxiliary files) to flash memory (before restart). The restart can be done immediately or upon certain conditions: ■ reload now : Restarts the device immediately. ■ reload now graceful <seconds>: Restarts the device only after the user-defined period (in seconds) elapses. ■ reload now graceful if-no-calls: ✔ If calls exist, the device doesn't restart and displays "Not Good (In Call)". ✔ If no calls exist, the device restarts immediately and displays "OK". ✔ If the device is unable to restart (for whatever reason), it displays "Not Good".
without-saving [in <Minutes>|graceful <Seconds>]	Restarts the device without saving configuration to flash memory. (Optional) You can configure a delay time before restart occurs: ■ in: Restarts 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: Restarts 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 restarts 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 restarts. To cancel the delayed restart, use the no reload command.
