Scheduling a System Reset
In software releases prior to software release 5.1, the classful subnet mask is always used (you cannot
specify the subnet mask for the destination network).
To configure a static route, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to configure a static route on the switch and verify that the route is configured
properly in the routing table:
Console> (enable) set ip route 172.16.16.0/20 172.20.52.127
Route added.
Console> (enable) show ip route

Scheduling a System Reset
You can use the reset at command to schedule a system to reset at a future time. 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 for the reset by using the reset at command. The month and
day argument is optional. If you do not specify a month and day, the reset takes place on the current day
if the time that is specified is later than the current time. If the time that is scheduled for reset is earlier
than the current time, the reset takes place on the following day.
Note
The maximum scheduled reset time is 24 days.
