Resetting the FWSM or Booting from a Specific Partition

This section describes how to reset the FWSM or boot from a specific partition. You might need to reset
the FWSM if you cannot reach it through the CLI or an external Telnet session. You might need to boot
from a non-default boot partition if you need to access the maintenance partition or if you want to boot
from a different software image in the backup application partition. The maintenance partition is
valuable for troubleshooting.
The reset process might take several minutes.
When you reset the FWSM, you can also choose to run a full memory test. When the FWSM initially
boots, it only runs a partial memory test. A full memory test takes approximately six minutes.
To reload the FWSM when you are logged into the FWSM, enter reload or reboot. You cannot boot from
Note
a non-default boot partition with these commands.
To reset the FWSM, enter the following command:
Router# hw-module module mod_num reset [cf:n] [mem-test-full]
The cf:n argument is the partition, either 1 (maintenance), 4 (application), or 5 (application). If you do
not specify the partition, the default partition is used (typically cf:4).
The mem-test-full option runs a full memory test, which takes approximately 6 minutes.
The following example shows how to reset the FWSM installed in slot 9. The default boot partition is
used.
Router# hw-module module 9 reset
Proceed with reload of module? [confirm] y
% reset issued for module 9
Router#
