This command is used to configure the settings for the LDAP server used by the switch to store the configuration settings that are not specific to an individual switch. The LDAP server can be internal to the switch being administered, or can be an external server that is shared by one or more Contivities.
This example specifies the settings for a master LDAP server at IP address 122.33.102.44 port number nnn, with a bind DN and base DN. The domain delimiter is the character @ and the domain suffix is removed. The switch is set to use the external LDAP server.

Reason is to "Upgrade software." The user must press [CR], or any subset of the string “yes”, to confirm that they want the reload to proceed.
This command sets a time in the future at which the switch will reboot. Options can be specified to determine whether the switch turns off or reboots, which configuration to use after a reboot, and other settings.
