Software Upgrade and Boot Options
Use this command to schedule a time to reboot the switch or to reboot the switch immediately. To
schedule a time to reboot the switch, use the following command:
reboot time <date> <time>
where date is the date and time is the time (using a 24-hour clock format) when the switch will be
rebooted. The values use the following format:
mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
To reboot the switch immediately, use the following command:
reboot
If you do not specify a reboot time, the reboot occurs immediately following the command, and any
previously schedule reboots are cancelled. To cancel a previously scheduled reboot, use the
cancel
option.
Rebooting the Management Module
To reboot a management module in a specific slot, rather than rebooting the switch, use the following
command:
reboot {time <month> <day> <year> <hour> <min> <sec> {msm <slotid>} | cancel {msm
<slotid>}| {msm <slotid>}
with the additional options available:
• slot number— Specifies the slot where the module is installed
• msm-a—Specifies a BlackDiamond MSM module installed in slot A
• msm-b—Specifies a BlackDiamond MSM module installed in slot B
NOTE
When you configure a timed reboot of an MSM, there is no show output in the CLI to display the
configuration.
Saving Configuration Changes
The configuration is the customized set of parameters that you have selected to run on the switch. As
you make configuration changes, the new settings are stored in run-time memory. Settings that are
stored in run-time memory are not retained by the switch when the switch is rebooted. To retain the
settings and have them loaded when you reboot the switch, you must save the configuration to
nonvolatile storage.
The switch can store multiple user-defined configuration files, each with its own file name. By default,
the switch has two prenamed configurations: a primary and a secondary configuration. When you save
configuration changes, you can select to which configuration you want the changes saved or you can
save the changes to a new configuration file. If you do not specify a file name, the changes are saved to
the configuration file currently in use. Or if you have never saved any configurations, you are asked to
save your changes to the primary configuration.
