Table 144: Environment Variables for TFTP
Description Variable
Specifies the MAC address of the switch.
We recommend that you do not modify this
variable.
Note
However, if you modify this variable after the boot
loader is up or the value is different from the saved
value, enter this command before using TFTP.
MAC_ADDR
Specifies the IP address and the subnet mask for the
associated IP subnet of the switch. IP_ADDR
Specifies the IP address and subnet mask of the
default gateway. DEFAULT_ROUTER
Scheduled Reload of the Software Image
You can schedule a reload of the software image to occur on the switch at a later time (for example, late at
night or during the weekend when the switch is used less), or you can synchronize a reload network-wide (for
example, to perform a software upgrade on all switches in the network).
A scheduled reload must take place within approximately 24 days.
Note
You have these reload options:
• Reload of the software to take affect in the specified minutes or hours and minutes. The reload must
take place within approximately 24 hours. You can specify the reason for the reload in a string up to
255 characters in length.
• Reload of the software to take place at the specified time (using a 24-hour clock). If you specify the
month and day, the reload is scheduled to take place at the specified time and date. If you do not specify
the month and day, the reload takes place at the specified time on the current day (if the specified time
is later than the current time) or on the next day (if the specified time is earlier than the current time).
Specifying 00:00 schedules the reload for midnight.
The reload command halts the system. If the system is not set to manually boot up, it reboots itself.
If your switch is configured for manual booting, do not reload it from a virtual terminal. This restriction
prevents the switch from entering the boot loader mode and then taking it from the remote user
’ s control.
If you modify your configuration file, the switch prompts you to save the configuration before reloading.
During the save operation, the system requests whether you want to proceed with the save if the CONFIG_FILE
environment variable points to a startup configuration file that no longer exists. If you proceed in this situation,
the system enters setup mode upon reload.
To cancel a previously scheduled reload, use the
reload cancel
privileged EXEC command.
