Notes
|
The prompt will be displayed only if there is unsaved configuration on the switch. Otherwise, the reboot will be performed as usual.
Using the halt flag will show the prompt unless force flag is passed.
Using the immediate flag will not trigger the firmware upgrade flow that part of normal reboot.
If the switch is in a fatal state, it will exit that state once it comes up.
