Chapter 18 Scheduling Maintenance Jobs
Configuring the Command Scheduler
To configure remote user authentication, follow these steps:
To display the scheduler password configuration for remote users, use the
show running-config
command.
switch#
show running-config | include “scheduler aaa-authentication”
scheduler aaa-authentication username newuser password 7 "C98d76S54e"
Note
The scheduler remote user passwords are always displayed in encrypted form in the
show
running-config
command output. The encrypted option (
7
) in the command exists to support applying
the ASCII configuration to the switch.
Defining a Job
To define a job, you must specify the job name. This action places you in the job definition (
config-job)
submode. In this submode, you can define the sequence of CLI commands that the job has to perform.
Be sure to exit the
config-job
submode to complete the job definition.
Caution
You cannot modify or remove a command after entering the sequence of commands. To make changes,
you must explicitly delete the defined job name and restart this process.
Note
You must exit the config-job submode for the job definition to be complete.
