Verifying a Timed Session
To verify that a timed session is running, use the show configuration status command. The following
displays where the timed session was set using the configuration apply qos_pol at 11:30 october 31
syntax.
-> show configuration status
File configuration <qos_pol>: scheduled at 01/10/31 11:30
Note. Only one session at a time can be scheduled on the switch. If two sessions are set, the last one will
overwrite the first. Before you schedule a timed session you should use the show configuration status
command to see if another session is already running.
The following displays where the timed session was set on March 10, 2002 at 01:00 using the
configuration apply group_config in 6:10 syntax.
-> show configuration status
File configuration <group_config>: scheduled at 03/10/02 07:10
Cancelling a Timed Session
You may cancel a pending timed session by using the configuration cancel command. To confirm that
your timer session has been canceled, use the show configuration status command. The following will
display.
-> configuration cancel
-> show configuration status
File configuration: none scheduled
For more details about the CLI commands used to apply configuration files or to use timer sessions, refer
to “Configuration File Manager Commands” in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Configuration File Error Reporting
If you apply a configuration file to the switch that contains significant errors, the application may not
work. In this case, the switch will indicate the number of errors detected and print the errors into a text file
that will appear in the /flash directory. The following display will result where the cfg_txt file contains
three errors.
-> configuration apply cfg_file
Errors: 3
Log file name: cfg_txt.1.err
In this case, the error message indicates that the application attempt was unsuccessful. It also indicates that
the switch wrote some log messages into a file named cfg_txt.1.err which now appears in your /flash
directory. You can read the messages in the log file to troubleshoot your configuration file.
Note. When you use the debug set or debug show CLI commands, the switch will write its output to a file
ending with the .err extension. This does not mean that an error has occurred. This is merely a convenient
way for the switch to display the output.
