Scheduling a System Reset
These sections describe how to schedule a system reset:
•
•
You can use the reset at command to schedule a system to reset at a future time. This feature allows you
to upgrade software during business hours and schedule the system upgrade after business hours to avoid
a major impact on users.
You can also use the schedule reset feature when trying out new features on a switch. To avoid
misconfiguration or the possibility of losing network connectivity to the device, you can set up the
startup configuration feature and schedule a reset to occur in 30 minutes. You can then change the
configuration, and if connectivity is lost, the system will reset in 30 minutes and return to the previous
configuration.

Scheduling a Reset at a Specific Time

You can specify an absolute time and date at which the reset will take place, using the reset at command.
The month and day argument is optional. If you do not specify a month and day, the reset will take place
on the current day if the time specified is later than the current time. If the time scheduled for reset is
earlier than the current time, the reset will take place on the following day.
Note The maximum scheduled reset time is 24 days.
