Rebooting the SCE Platform
Rebooting the SCE platform is required after installing a new package, in order for that package to take
effect. There might be other occasions where rebooting the SCE platform is necessary.
Note When the SCE restarts, it loads the startup configuration, so all changes made in the running
configuration are lost. Save the running configuration before performing reload, as described in Saving
or Changing the Configuration Settings, page 7-8.
Step 1 At the SCE8000# prompt, enter reload and press Enter.
A confirmation message appears.
Step 2 Enter y to confirm the reboot request and press Enter.
Examples for Rebooting the SCE Platform

configuration are lost. Save the running configuration before performing reload, as described in Saving
or Changing the Configuration Settings, page 7-8.
