How to restart Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9600

Question

I need to restart/reboot an Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwith 9600. I cannot find the option to reboot the switch from the web interface. How else can I reboot the switch without pulling the power? I was able to log into the Telnet portal, but not sure what command can be used there to reboot. Any help would be appreciated.

IIRC the command to reboot an Omniswitch is simply reload

I'd make sure you have saved the config first though (which I believe is write memory but it's been years since I've messed with one of these to be honest).

The switches CLI reference guide on Alcatel's site should help as well...but I think the above is accurate.

In your experience working with Alcatel switches, how often would you need to reboot them? I suspect I am having high latency due to one of the core switches. – Rynardt Apr 15 '14 at 14:29
I rarely rebooted one, like once every 6 months at best. If you are having issues I would check the logs and possibly look at firmware/code upgrades. Especially if a reboot "fixes it". – TheCleaner Apr 15 '14 at 15:12

try "reload" - can also be used for timing the reboot

Got it. I used "reload" from the CLI over Telnet. Reference: http://www.dinf.ru/Doc_base/Alcatel_omniswitch_commands.pdf

Probably better suited as just a "Thank you" under my answer. ;) – TheCleaner Jan 09 '15 at 14:03

reload working no-rollback-timeout is best to avoid reloading in certified.
