By default, this feature is disabled in all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. The configuration and verification commands for the command scheduler feature are only available when this feature is enabled on a switch. When you disable this feature, all related configurations are automatically discarded. To enable the command scheduling feature, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Command switch# config t switch(config)# scheduler enable switch(config)# no scheduler enable Purpose Enters configuration mode. Enables the command scheduler. Discards the scheduler configuration and disables the command scheduler (default). To display the command schedule status, use the show scheduler config command. switch# show scheduler config config terminal scheduler enable scheduler logfile size 16 end Configuring Remote User Authentication Prior to Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(3), only users local to the switch could perform scheduler configuration. As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(3), remote users can perform job scheduling using AAA authentication. Note AAA authentication requires the clear text password of the remote user before creating and configuring command scheduler jobs.
