Administration
Rebooting the Device
You might want to set the time of the reboot for some time in the future. This could happen, for example, in
one of the following cases:
• You are performing actions on a remote device, and these actions might create loss of connectivity to
the remote device. Pre-scheduling a reboot restores the working configuration and enables restoring
the connectivity to the remote device. If these actions are successful, the delayed reboot can be
cancelled.
• Reloading the device cause loss of connectivity in the network, thus by using delayed reboot, you
can schedule the reboot to a time that is more convenient for the users (e.g. late night).
To reboot the device:
STEP 1
STEP 2
• Reboot—Reboots the device. Since any unsaved information in the Running Configuration is
discarded when the device is rebooted, you must click Save in the upper-right corner of any window
to preserve current configuration across the boot process. If the Save option is not displayed, the
Running Configuration matches the Startup Configuration and no action is necessary.
• Cancel Reboot—Cancels a reboot if one has been schedule for the future.
The following options are available:
- Immediate—Reboot immediately.
- Date—Enter the date (month/day) and time (hour and minutes) of the schedule reboot. This
schedules a reload of the software to take place at the specified time (using a 24-hour clock). If
you specify the month and day, the reload is scheduled to take place at the specified time and
date. If you do not specify the month and day, the reload takes place at the specified time on the
current day (if the specified time is later than the current time) or on the next day (if the specified
time is earlier than the current time). Specifying 00:00 schedules the reload for midnight. The
reload must take place within 24 days.
This option can only be used if the system time has either been set manually or by SNTP.
NOTE
- In—Reboot within the specified number of hours and minutes. The maximum amount of time that
can pass is 24 days.
• Reboot to Factory Defaults—Reboots the device by using the factory default configuration. This
process erases the Startup Configuration file, and the backup configuration file. The mirror
configuration file is not deleted when restoring to factory default.
• Clear Startup Configuration File—Check to clear the startup configuration on the device for the next
time it boots up.
