Timed execution of CLI command

The command timer allows the timed execution of CLI commands. The timer command is incremental; this means for each time it is entered, a new timer is created. All timers appear in the running-configuration, except if they have been created with the volatile option. It is possible to specify for each timer the start time and the reoccurrence. Use the CLI help (tab completion) for detailed description of all configuration options.

Some examples:

timer FIRMWARE_UPDATE now + 2 minutes every 10 minutes “provisioning execute FIRMWARE”

Starts a timer named FIRMWARE_UPDATE, whose first execution time is 2 minutes after the command is entered (2 minutes after device startup if the command is in the startup-configuration), and is executed every 10 minutes afterwards. This timer does not expire. The executed CLI command is provisioning

execute FIRMWARE.

timer volatile RELOAD midnight + 1 hour “reload graceful”

Starts a volatile timer named RELOAD (does not appear in the running-configuration, and thus is not stored in the startup-configuration). The timer is executed once, 1 hour after midnight, and reloads the

system gracefully.

Displaying the checksum of a configuration

In SmartWare configuration files, e.g. startup configuration, running configuration, and user-specific configu- ration, contain a checksum entry. This checksum informs the user about the validity and helps distinguish con- figuration files on the basis of the checksum.

Mode: Administrator execution

Step Command Purpose

1node#show crc filename Displays checksum of a configuration

Example: Displaying the checksum of a configuration

The following example shows how to display the checksum of the configuration test of your device, if you start from the configuration mode.

node#show crc nvram:test File nvram: test: checksum: 0xfaddc88a

Configuration of terminal sessions

In certain cases it may be desirable to change the settings of the current terminal session.

Mode: System

Step	Command	Purpose
1	[name] (sys)#terminal height	Configures the terminal height.
