uptime
The 
uptime
 command can be used to display the amount of time the switch has been 
in operation (also known as up time), the total cumulative amount of up time since the 
switch was first powered-on, the date and time of the last reboot, and the reason for 
the last reboot. 
For up and powered-on times less than 60 seconds, the display granularity is by the 
second. For times greater than 60 seconds, the display granularity is by the minute. In 
addition, the formatting of the output adjusts based on the amount of time. See 
Appendix A, “Error Messages,” for more information.
