Scheduled Reload. Beginning with software release K.11.34, additional
parameters have been added to the reload command to allow for a scheduled
reboot of the switch via the CLI.
Syntax: reload [after <[dd:]hh:]mm> | at <hh:mm[:ss]> [<mm/dd[/[yy]yy]]>] | cancel]
Enables a scheduled warm reboot of the switch. Parameters
include:
• after: Schedules a warm reboot of the switch after a given
amount of time has passed.
• at: Schedules a warm reboot of the switch at a given time.
• cancel: Removes a pending reboot request.
For more details and examples, see below and refer to "Operating
Notes" on page 6-22.
The scheduled reload feature supports the following capabilities:
It removes the requirement to physically reboot the switch at incon-
■
venient times (for example, at 1:00 in the morning). Instead, a reload
at 1:00 mm/dd command can be executed (where mm/dd is the date
the switch is scheduled to reboot).
It provides a safety net in situations where a change is made from a
■
remote location to the running config that inadvertently causes loss
of management access. For example, a newly configured ACL might
deny access to the switch from the management station's IP address
such that the telnet session ceases to function. Scheduling a reload
after command (timed to execute after the necessary configuration
work is completed) will ensure that the switch will reboot automati-
cally. Assuming the ACL changes were not saved to the startup config,
telnet access will then be restored. If the ACL work is completed
successfully, with no loss of access, the scheduled reboot can be
cancelled with the reload cancel command.
