information.
n
time
: Configure a time period for the maintenance window:
i. Configure the time of day that the maintenance window should start, using the
syntax
HH
:
MM
. If the start time is not set, maintenance tasks are not scheduled
and will not be run.
(config system schedule maintenance trigger 0)> time from
HH
:
MM
(config system schedule maintenance trigger 0)>
The behavior of the start time varies depending on the setting of the duration
length, which is configured in the next step.
l
If the duration length is set to
0
, all scheduled tasks will begin at the exact
time specified in the start time.
l
If the duration length is set to
24 hours
, the start time is effectively
obsolete and the maintenance tasks will be scheduled to run at any time.
Setting the duration length to
24 hours
can potentially overstress the
device and should be used with caution.
l
If the duration length is set to any value other than to
0
or
24 hours
, the
maintenance tasks will run at a random time during the time allotted for
the duration window.
l
If the duration length is set to one or more hours, the minutes field in the
start time is ignored and the duration window will begin at the beginning
of the specified hour.
ii. Configure the duration length (the amount of time that the maintenance tasks
will be run). If
0
is used, all scheduled tasks will begin at the start time, defined
in the previous step.
(config system schedule maintenance trigger 0)> length
num
(config system schedule maintenance trigger 0)>
where
num
is any whole number between
0
and
24
.
iii. Configure the frequency that the maintenance tasks should be run:
(config system schedule maintenance trigger 0)> frequency
value
(config system schedule maintenance trigger 0)>
where
value
is either
daily
or
weekly
.
Daily
is the default.
4. (Optional) ) Configure the device to look for any updated device firmware during the
maintenance window. If updated firmware is found, it will then be installed. The device will
look for updated firmware both on the local device and over the network, using a WAN
connection.
(config)> system schedule maintenance device_fw_update
value
(config)>
where
value
is either
true
or
false
.
yes
or
no
, and
1
or
0
are also allowed.
