Reboot the device immediately at the CLI.
•
•
At the CLI, schedule a reboot to occur at a specific time and date or after a delay.
Power off and then power on the device. This method might cause data loss, and is the
•
least-preferred method.
Reboot at the CLI enables easy remote device maintenance.
Rebooting devices immediately at the CLI
To reboot a device, execute the following command in user view:
Task
Reboot a subcard or the device
immediately.
Scheduling a device reboot
The switch supports only one device reboot schedule. If you configure the schedule reboot delay
command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect. The schedule reboot at command
and the schedule reboot delay command overwrite each other, and the most recent configuration takes
effect.
For data security, if you are performing file operations at the reboot time, the system does not reboot.
To schedule a device reboot, execute one of the following commands in user view:
Task
Schedule a reboot.
Scheduling jobs
You can schedule a job to automatically run a command or a set of commands without administrative
interference. The commands in a job are polled every minute. When the scheduled time for a command
is reached, the job automatically executes the command. If a confirmation is required while the
command is running, the system automatically enters Y or Yes. If characters are required, the system
automatically enters a default character string or an empty character string when no default character
string is available.
