n interface_up: If interface_up is set:
i. Set the interface:
(config add system schedule maintenance trigger)> interface
value
(config)>
ii. i. Use the ? to determine available interfaces:
ii. Set the interface. For example:
(config system schedule maintenance trigger 0)> interface
/network/interface/eth1
(config system schedule maintenance trigger 0)>
n out_of_service: The maintenance window will only start if the Python Out-of-
Service is set. See Use Python to set the maintenance window for further
information.
n time: Configure a time period for the maintenance window:
i. Configure the time of day that the maintenance window should start, using the
syntax HH:MM. If the start time is not set, maintenance tasks are not scheduled
and will not be run.
(config system schedule maintenance trigger 0)> time from
HH:MM
(config system schedule maintenance trigger 0)>
The behavior of the start time varies depending on the setting of the duration
length, which is configured in the next step.
l If the duration length is set to 0, all scheduled tasks will begin at the exact
time specified in the start time.
l If the duration length is set to 24 hours, the start time is effectively
obsolete and the maintenance tasks will be scheduled to run at any time.
Setting the duration length to 24 hours can potentially overstress the
device and should be used with caution.
l If the duration length is set to any value other than to 0 or 24 hours, the
maintenance tasks will run at a random time during the time allotted for
the duration window.
l If the duration length is set to one or more hours, the minutes field in the
start time is ignored and the duration window will begin at the beginning of
the specified hour.
ii. Configure the duration length (the amount of time that the maintenance tasks
will be run). If 0 is used, all scheduled tasks will begin at the start time, defined
in the previous step.
(config system schedule maintenance trigger 0)> length num
(config system schedule maintenance trigger 0)>
where num is any whole number between 0 and 24.
