Cisco Nexus 3548 - Remote User Authentication; Scheduler Log Files; Licensing Requirements for the Scheduler; Guidelines and Limitations for the Scheduler

Schedule
The timetable for completing a job. You can assign multiple jobs to a schedule.
A schedule is defined as either periodic or one-time only:
• Periodic mode— A recurring interval that continues until you delete the job. You can configure
the following types of intervals:
◦ Daily— Job is completed once a day.
◦ Weekly— Job is completed once a week.
◦ Monthly—Job is completed once a month.
◦ Delta—Job begins at the specified start time and then at specified intervals
(days:hours:minutes).
• One-time mode—Job is completed only once at a specified time.
Remote User Authentication
Before starting a job, the scheduler authenticates the user who created the job. Because user credentials from
a remote authentication are not retained long enough to support a scheduled job, you must locally configure
the authentication passwords for users who create jobs. These passwords are part of the scheduler configuration
and are not considered a locally configured user.
Before starting the job, the scheduler validates the local password against the password from the remote
authentication server.
Scheduler Log Files
The scheduler maintains a log file that contains the job output. If the size of the job output is greater than the
size of the log file, the output is truncated.
Licensing Requirements for the Scheduler
This feature does not require a license. Any feature not included in a license package is bundled with the Cisco
NX-OS system images and is provided at no extra charge to you. For a complete explanation of the Cisco
NX-OS licensing scheme, see the Cisco NX-OS Licensing Guide.
Guidelines and Limitations for the Scheduler
•
The scheduler can fail if it encounters one of the following while performing a job:
◦
If a feature license is expired when a job for that feature is scheduled.
◦
If a feature is disabled at the time when a job for that feature is scheduled.
