Scheduling a system reload

Maximum file sizes for startup-config file and running-config
Each device has a maximum allowable size for the running-config and the startup-config file. If you
use TFTP to load additional information into a device running-config or startup-config file, it is
possible to exceed the maximum allowable size. If this occurs, you will not be able to save the
configuration changes.
The maximum size for the running-config and the startup-config file is 64K each.
To determine the size of a running-config or startup-config file, copy it to a TFTP server, then use the
directory services on the server to list the size of the copied file. To copy the running-config or
startup-config file to a TFTP server, use one of the following commands:
• Commands to copy the running-config to a TFTP server:
• copy running-config tftp ip-addr filename
• ncopy running-config tftp ip-addr from-name
• Commands to copy the startup-config file to a TFTP server:
• copy startup-config tftp ip-addr filename
• ncopy startup-config tftp ip-addr from-name
Scheduling a system reload
In addition to reloading the system manually, you can configure the device to reload itself at a
specific time or after a specific amount of time has passed.
NOTE
The scheduled reload feature requires the system clock. You can use a Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) server to set the clock or you can set the device clock manually. Refer to “Specifying
a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server” on page 18 or “Setting the system clock” on
page 19.
Reloading at a specific time
To schedule a system reload for a specific time, use the reload at command. For example, to
schedule a system reload from the primary flash module for 6:00:00 AM, April 1, 2003, enter the
following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
PowerConnect# reload at 06:00:00 04-01-03
Syntax: reload at hh:mm:ss mm-dd-yy [primary | secondary]
• hh:mm:ss is hours, minutes, and seconds.
• mm-dd-yy is month, day, and year.
• primary | secondary specifies whether the reload is to occur from the primary code flash
module or the secondary code flash module. The default is primary.
