Solution

Originally, this change will automatically reboot the FPC. However, the behavior has been changed so users can manually schedule a reboot later to the corresponding FPCs without affecting productivity. Change in port speed will only take effect after restarting the FPC.

Restart the FPC during a maintenance window to avoid traffic impact and to make the port speed change effective.

Example for bouncing (restarting) an FPC:

request chassis fpc restart slot 0
