reload

Reloads a stand-alone device, a stack, or specified stack units other than the active controller.
Syntax
reload [ after duration | at time date [ primary | secondary ] ]
reload cancel
reload [ unit-id unit-list ]
Parameters
after duration
Schedules reload after the specified duration, entered in the format dd:hh:mm, where dd is the number of days; hh represents the number of hours, from 00 to 23; and mm represents minutes, from 00 to 59.
at time date
Schedules reload for a specific time and date. Time is entered in this format: hh:mm:ss, where hh represents hours, from 00 to 24; mm represents minutes, from 00 to 59; and ss represents seconds, from 00 to 59. The date is entered in this format: mm-dd-yy, where mm is the month (for example, 01 for January); dd is the day in the month (for example, 09); and yy is the year (for example, 17).
cancel
Cancels the scheduled stack reload.
primary
Reloads from primary image flash.
secondary
Reloads from secondary image flash.
unit-id unit-list
Specifies stack units to reload. When the unit-id is not present, the stand-alone device or the stack on which the reload command is issued is reloaded. The unit-list may contain a single ID (2), a series of IDs (2,3), a range of IDs (4-6), or a combination ( 2,3,4-6,8). Do not use spaces between entries.
Modes

Privileged EXEC mode

Usage Guidelines

Stack units can be reloaded only if they are not the active controller.

The active controller automatically reloads on stack failover to the standby controller. If you need to reload the active controller manually, use the stack switch-over command. When switchover occurs, you will be able to load the former active controller with the reload unit-id command.

Examples

When the reload command is entered on the active controller without the unit-id parameter as shown in the following example, the entire stack reloads. When the reload command is entered on a stand-alone device without a unit ID, the device reloads.
