Abstract: For uninterrupted network communications, a method detects a protected reset at a network device. In response to the protected reset, the method maintains communication functions of a communication module. The communication module communicates with other network devices using the communication functions. In response to the protected reset, the method resets the network device without resetting the communication module.
