How to restart a process?

[bellocarico]

Is is possible to restart a single process (e.g. ospf) other than reload the router?

[pkhatri]

You cannot manipulate specific processes directly. However, you can use IOS-provided clear commands e.g.

clear ip ospf process

Alternatively, you can do something like this:

no router ospf

router ospf

....

You simply have to find the commands enabling the process and then delete and re-issue them.

Hope that helps
