PurposeCommand or Action
• always-use-custom-profile—Use this option to apply the existing
custom maintenance mode profile and prevent creation of
autogenerated maintenance mode profile. This option forces the
dont-generate-profile option to be used even if it has not been
specified using the system mode maintenance command. You
cannot use the "shutdown" option when this option is being used.
Starting from Cisco NX-OS Release 8.0(1), the following keywords were
introduced:
• non-interactive—Use this option to put the switch in maintenance
mode without presenting any switch prompts.
• snapshot-delay delay-in-seconds—Use this option to change the
snapshot delay timer value. The default snapshot delay timer value
is 120 seconds. The range is from 0 to 65535.
(Optional)
Displays the current system mode. This command also displays the current
state of the maintenance mode timer when the switch is in maintenance
mode.
switch# show system mode
Step 3
Starting with Cisco NX-OS Release 8.0(1), a visible CLI indicator has been added to show that the system
is in maintenance mode. For example, switch(config)# will appear as switch(maint-mode)(config)#.
Note
This example shows how to put all the protocols in maintenance mode using the system mode maintenance
command on a switch running the Cisco NX-OS Release 8.0(1):
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# system mode maintenance
