Introduction to Device

can maintain and manage your physical device, and restart the system when some
functions of the system are abnormal.

When rebooting, the system checks whether there is any configuration change. If
there is, it prompts you to indicate whether or not to proceed. This prevents you from
losing your original configuration due to oblivion after system reboot.
Schedule a Reboot on
the Switch
After you schedule a reboot on the switch, the switch will reboot at the specified
time.
There is at most one minute defer for scheduled reboot, that is, the switch will reboot
within one minute after reaching the specified reboot date and time.
