A router/switch restart request. A management station can remotely instruct an ATI router/switch to action a warm or cold restart. Once all the appropriate internal checks have been made, the router/switch will acknowledge the request via normal SNMP channels. The restart instruction will be actioned after waiting for a period of 5 seconds, this is because the SNMP acknowledgement packet needs time to reach the management station. Once the request has been actioned, it can not be cancelled and communication with the router/switch will be lost during system initialisation.
