AOS-CX: boot / reload / restart / disconnect TIMER ?

  • 1.  AOS-CX: boot / reload / restart / disconnect TIMER ?

    Posted Oct 18, 2019 11:21 AM

    I perform remote AOS-CX maintenance on a regular basis.

     

    There are times my revised/new settings may cause my remote discussion to be disconnected.  The LARGE changes at time then do not allow me to reconnect to the AOS-CX switch.  I would like a system similar to the AOS-switch (hpe provision) where one can time a reload.  If one sets the reload timer to reload, and the time code is met, the switch is rebooted w/ saving the config and then the new settings are dropped.

     

    Is this type of "auto boot" available on AOS-CX???  Have not found in aos-cx manuals or on airheads.

    Thanks alagoutee !!!   (and a shout-out to parnassus for similar help in a related POST).

     

    From 8320 (10.03) CLI DOC:

     

    Syntax
    checkpoint auto <TIME-LAPSE-INTERVAL>


    Description
    Starts the auto checkpoint mode. In auto checkpoint mode, the system temporarily saves the runtime
    configuration as a checkpoint only for the specified time lapse interval.

     

    Usage
    To save the runtime checkpoint permanently, run the checkpoint auto confirm command during the
    time lapse value set by the checkpoint auto <TIME-LAPSE-INTERVAL> command. The filename for the
    saved checkpoint has the AUTO<YYYYMMDDHHMMSS> syntax. If the checkpoint auto confirm command is
    not entered during the specified time lapse interval, the previous runtime configuration is restored.
