Usage Guidelines
Use the reload command to cause the RP to reload the Cisco IOS XR software according to the configuration register setting (for example, 0x0 to enter ROMMON mode and 0x2 to reload the RP to EXEC mode). If a standby RP is in the ready redundancy state, the reload command also causes the router to fail over to the standby RP. Use the show redundancy command in EXEC mode to display the status of the standby RP.
When the reload command is used and a switchover occurs, the running (active) software configuration is automatically maintained during switchover.
Caution |
If a standby RP is not installed or is not in the ready state, then the router experiences a loss of service while the active RP is reloading Cisco IOS XR software. To view the status of the standby RP, issue the show redundancy command in EXEC mode. |
If you use the reload command and there is no available standby node, you are prompted to continue with the reload:
Router# reload
Standby card not present or not Ready for failover. Proceed?[confirm]y

Examples
The following example shows how to reload the active RP. If a standby RP is in the ready state, then the router fails over to the standby RP. If the standby RP is not installed or is not in the ready state, then the router enters ROMMON mode and routing operations stop.
Router# reload
