Rebooting and Halting a Device

To reboot the switch, issue the request system reboot command.

user@switch> request system reboot ?
Possible completions:
  <[Enter]>            Execute this command
  at                   Time at which to perform the operation
  in                   Number of minutes to delay before operation
  media                Boot media for next boot
  message              Message to display to all users
  |                    Pipe through a command
user@switch> request system reboot
Reboot the system ? [yes,no] (no) yes
Rebooting switch

Similarly, to halt the switch, issue the request system halt command.

Caution: Before entering this command, you must have access to the switch’s console port in order to bring up the Routing Engine.

user@switch> request system halt ?
Possible completions:
  <[Enter]>            Execute this command
  at                   Time at which to perform the operation
  in                   Number of minutes to delay before operation
  media                Boot media for next boot
  message              Message to display to all users
  |                    Pipe through a command

Note: When you issue this command on an individual component in a QFabric system, you will receive a warning that says “Hardware-based members will halt, Virtual Junos Routing Engines will reboot.” If you want to halt only one member, use the member option. You cannot issue this command from the QFabric CLI.

Issuing the request system halt command on the switch halts the Routing Engine. To reboot a Routing Engine that has been halted, you must connect through the console.
