CAUTION:
• A device reboot interrupts ongoing services. Use these commands with caution.
• Before rebooting a device, use the save command to save the current configurations.
• Before rebooting a device, use the display startup and display boot-loader commands to check
whether the configuration file and boot file to be used at the next boot are configured.
• The precision of the reboot timer is 1 minute. One minute before the specified reboot time, the device
prompts “REBOOT IN ONE MINUTE” and reboots after one minute.
• If you are performing file operations when the reboot time is reached, the system does not execute the
reboot operation for security.

finds that the time to execute a command is reached, it automatically executes the command.
