How to reboot a switch from the controller?

Please tell me there is an option that I am just missing in the menu somewhere?

It woks the same as the APs. Go to the “Settings” tab for the switch, hold down shift. the “Restart” button will appear.

Legit didn’t know that was a thing thanks!

And now it is there as a proper Reboot-button in the Web UI under Network device settings for APs (at least my AP6 Pro), switches (at least my S8) and Route10. The Android app is not yet there though.

For some reason I am not seeing this new Reboot button. I’ve looked under each device and under System as well and I don’t see it. The shift button is a nice tip. Thanks @anon77415413

It should be there for the Web UI at manage.alta.inc at least. See if you can find it as per below.

S8 Switch (and perhaps S16/S24 as well?!):

Network → S8 Switch device → Settings → Advanced (at the bottom) → Reboot (at the very bottom)

See screenshots

Route10:

Network → Route10 device → Advanced (at the bottom) → Reboot (at the very bottom)

See screenshot

AP6 Pro:

Network → AP6 Pro device → Settings → Advanced (at the bottom) → Reboot (at the very bottom)

See screenshots

At least it’s not hidden anymore…!

Interesting. On the local control I still have to hit shift to see the reboot button. Even though the release notes for the on-prem 1.0u release says "Add Reboot button under Advanced options. And on Route 10 and Controller devices I don’t see any reboot at all.

I’m not seeing the same issue here.

I just rebooted my Control. Still not seeing Reboot buttons. Notice on AP1 when I hit Cmd+Shift+4 to do a print screen it changes the Save button to a Reboot (old way of getting to reboot button).

Can you confirm this from another browser?

Good call @Alta-Josh. Reboot button showed up in Safari. Went back into Firefox and disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection for this site and the Reboot button now shows for all hardware devices except the Control. Should there be a reboot for the Control somewhere? Didn’t see it in Safari or Firefox.
