Chapter 1 Assigning the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway
Boot Loader Upgrade and Image Verification for the FIPS Mode of Operation
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.
This example shows how to reload the software on the switch on the current day at 7:30 p.m:
Switch# reload at 19:30
Reload scheduled for 19:30:00 UTC Wed Jun 5 1996 (in 2 hours and 25 minutes)
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
This example shows how to reload the software on the switch at a future time:
Switch# reload at 02:00 jun 20
Reload scheduled for 02:00:00 UTC Thu Jun 20 1996 (in 344 hours and 53 minutes)
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
To cancel a previously scheduled reload, use the reload cancel privileged EXEC command.
Displaying Scheduled Reload Information
To display information about a previously scheduled reload or to find out if a reload has been scheduled
on the switch, use the
show reload privileged EXEC command.
It displays reload information including the time the reload is scheduled to occur and the reason for the
reload (if it was specified when the reload was scheduled).
Boot Loader Upgrade and Image Verification for the FIPS Mode
of Operation
To operate in the FIPS mode, complete these steps:
• Enable the FIPS mode on the switch.
To enable the FIPS mode, enter the
fips authorization-key authorization-key global configuration
command. To disable the FIPS mode, use the no version of the command.
•
Use signed and validated images.
Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2)SE1 supports an updated boot loader that can validate the Cisco IOS
image signature only in the FIPS mode of operation.
Note
Ensure that the power is not turned off while updating the boot loader. If the power is turned
off during the update, you will have to replace the switch by using a Return Merchandise
Authorization (RMA) license.
