This feature allows you to upgrade software during business hours and schedule the system upgrade after business hours to avoid a major impact on users. You can also use the schedule reset feature when trying out new features on a switch. To avoid misconfiguration or the possibility of losing network connectivity to the device, you can set up the startup configuration feature and schedule a reset to occur in 30 minutes. You can then change the configuration, and if connectivity is lost, the system will reset in 30 minutes and return to the previous configuration. Scheduling a Reset at a Specific Time You can specify an absolute time and date at which the reset will take place, using the reset at command. The month and day argument is optional. If you do not specify a month and day, the reset will take place on the current day if the time specified is later than the current time. If the time scheduled for reset is earlier than the current time, the reset will take place on the following day. Note The maximum scheduled reset time is 24 days. To schedule a reset at a specific time, perform this task in privileged mode: Step 1 Step 2 Task Schedule the reset time at a specific time. Verify the scheduled reset.
