This action is used to reboot the device. Parameters can be used to execute a cold-boot at a later time, or or even to delete a planned restart again.
This feature can be used for scenarios where critical changes are made to the configuration, where a misconfiguration could lead to the device being unreachable (e.g. WAN connection or management connection). The command can be used in conjunction with the test mode "flash no" in which configuration changes are not stored persistently in flash. Example:
- On the CLI, "flash no" is executed.
- Set a timed cold-boot in 30 minutes, e.g. do /other/cold-boot 30m
- Implementing critical configuration changes.
- If the changes were successful, the reboot timer can be stopped with "do /other/cold-boot stop" and the system can be returned to "flash yes".
- If the changes make the device unreachable, the device will automatically reboot after 30 minutes with the old configuration that was active before "flash no" was set.
