3.2 Configuring Device Management
3.2.1 Rebooting a Device
When a fault occurs to a running device, you can remove the fault by rebooting the
device, depending on the actual situation. You can set a time at which the device can
automatically reboot. You can also set a delay so that the device can automatically
reboot in the delay.
Follow these steps to reboot a device:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Reboot a card or the whole
system
reboot [ slot
slot-number ]
Optional
Available in user view.
Enable the scheduled reboot
function and specify a specific
reboot time and date
schedule reboot at
hh:mm [ date ]
Enable the scheduled reboot
function and specify a reboot
waiting time
schedule reboot
delay { hh:mm | mm }
Optional
The scheduled reboot
function is disabled by
default.
Available in user view.
Caution:
z The precision of the rebooting timer is 1 minute. One minute before the rebooting
time, the device will prompt “REBOOT IN ONE MINUTE” and will reboot in one
minute.
z The execution of the reboot, schedule reboot at, and schedule reboot delay
commands can reboot a device. As a result, the ongoing services will be interrupted.
Be careful to use these commands.
z If a primary boot file fails or does not exist, the device cannot be rebooted with this
command. In this case, you can re-specify a primary boot file to reboot the device, or
you can power off the device then power it on and the system automatically uses the
secondary boot file to restart the device.
z Make sure that at least a primary boot file or a secondary boot file can be used when
you use the schedule reboot command to reboot the device.
z If you are performing file operations when the device is to be rebooted, the system
does not execute the command for the sake of security.
