Control to cause this system to reset its software to initial load values, typically by reloading. When executing an initialize command, the system observes the value of sysInitializeDelay as supplied anywhere in the same set request with sysInitialize. If this value is not included in the set request, the system uses its default value.

In response to a get-request or get-next-request, the agent always returns 'ready' for this value.

Setting the value to 'ready' has no effect. Setting it to 'conditionalExecute' causes initialization if the overall system state is acceptible (such as not needing to store permanent parameters). Setting it to 'unconditionalExecute' causes initialization regardless of the overall system state. Setting it to 'cancel' aborts an initialization that has not yet started. According to standard SNMP operation, if the system is not in a proper state to accept a given set request for this value, it returns the standard SNMP error 'badValue'.

Corresponds to the INITIALIZE command.
