System reload scheduling
In addition to reloading the system manually, you can configure the Brocade 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. Refer to Network Time Protocol Version 4
(NTPv4) on page 35.
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.
device#reload at 06:00:00 04-01-03
Syntax: reload at hh:mm:ss mm-dd-yy [ primary | secondary ]
hh:mm:ss is the hours, minutes, and seconds.
mm-dd-yy is the 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 .
Reloading after a specific amount of time
To schedule a system reload to occur after a specific amount of time has passed on the system clock,
use reload after command. For example, to schedule a system reload from the secondary flash one
day and 12 hours later, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
device#reload after 01:12:00 secondary
Syntax: reload after dd:hh:mm [ primary | secondary ]
dd:hh:mm is the number of days, hours, and minutes.
primary | secondary specifies whether the reload is to occur from the primary code flash module or the
secondary code flash module.

from any level of the CLI.
