To perform an IOM, IMM, or XCM soft reset

Purpose and prerequisities

Perform this procedure to perform a manual soft reset on an IOM, IMM or XCM.

Soft reset is supported only under the following conditions:

  • The IOM or XCM is operationally up.

  • The IOM, IMM, or XCM is supported. The IOM, IMM, or XCM supports soft reset when the Soft Reset menu item is selectable after you right click on the object. The Soft Reset menu is greyed out if it is not supported.

  • The MDAs or XMAs are provisioned, and are Ethernet, but not HSMDA.

MDAs that do not support soft reset are hard rebooted during a soft reset operation.

For more information about soft reset support, see the appropriate node documentation.
