sdvars set starttime

Purpose: Sets the internal variable starttime. Starttime is a countdown time; that is, when zero is reached, the software download process begins. Set this variable to reflect how far into the future the access point is to begin downloading and executing the script file from the TFTP server. When the timer reaches 0, the access point uses the values in serveripaddress and scriptfilename to get the script file that is to be executed. If either serveripaddress or scriptfilename contains no value, an error is noted in the status variable and the software download process is terminated.

Syntax: sdvars set starttime dd:hh:mm:ss

where dd:hh:mm:ss is how far in the future the reboot is to begin and

ddis days. hh is hours. mm is minutes. ss is seconds.

Example: To begin the script file download in 5 minutes, enter:

sdvars set starttime 00:00:05:00

Note

If you need to stop the download, you can do so by setting starttime to 0 if it has not already been reached by the countdown. Resetting starttime to 0 stops the timer and the download process.

sdvars set checkpoint

Purpose: Sets the internal variable called checkpoint to a specified value. The checkpoint variable is useful for monitoring the progress of a script file as it is executed. You can set the checkpoint variable to a different value after each script command, and then query the checkpoint value using SNMP to determine the progress of the download.

Syntax: sdvars set checkpoint value

where value is a whole number.

Example: Consider the following script file commands:

sdvars set checkpoint 1

fe 1
