After you enable SafeMode and set the time limit, a reload timer is activated
for the Telnet and SSH access lines and begins to count down. You also set a
threshold timer, which is shorter than the reload timer. When the threshold
timer expires, a warning message is displayed in the CLI that allows you to
reset the timer. Unless you enter the reset keystroke before the reload timer
finishes counting down, the router reboots. This prevents you from being
locked out of the router if you lose the connection and are unable to reset the
timer.
While SafeMode is enabled, it temporarily suspends AutoSynch functioning.
This prevents a disruptive configuration from being saved to both flash and
compact flash. After the SafeMode configuration is complete and you have
disabled the SafeMode counter, the AutoSynch function, if previously enabled,
will automatically re-enable and begin synchronization.
Enabling SafeMode. To enable SafeMode, access the global configuration
mode context and enter:
Syntax: safe-mode [<reload time> <threshold time>]
For example:
ProCurve(config)# safe-mode 600 500
ProCurve(safe-config)#
Set the <reload time> to the number of seconds to countdown until the
router reboots. Set the <threshold time> to the number of seconds to
countdown until you receive a reminder to reset the timer. Both the reload
time and threshold time must be between 30 and 3600 seconds. The default
value for the reload time is 300 seconds, and the default value for the threshold
time is 60 seconds. To enable SafeMode with the default settings, enter safe-
mode at the global configuration prompt.
The reload time should be greater than the threshold time. If you enter a
threshold value greater than the reload value, the CLI displays an error
message.
When you are configuring in SafeMode from a Telnet or SSH session, the
configuration mode context prompt is displayed as safe-config. For example:
ProCurve(safe-config)# interface ethernet 0/1
ProCurve(safe-config-eth 0/1)#
All configurations that you make during SafeMode are saved in RAM as part
of the running-config.
