Scheduling a Reload of the Software Image
Note
Use the
at
keyword only if the switch system clock has been set (through Network Time
Protocol (NTP), the hardware calendar, or manually). The time is relative to the configured
time zone on the switch. To schedule reloads across several switches to occur
simultaneously, the time on each switch must be synchronized with NTP.
The
reload
command halts the system. If the system is not set to manually bootup, it reboots itself. Use
the
reload
command after you save the switch configuration information to the startup configuration
(
copy running-config startup-config
).
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 thereby 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.
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).
