Configuring the system time

About the system time

Correct system time is essential to network management and communication. Configure the system time correctly before you run the device on the network.

The device can use one of the following methods to obtain the system time:

· Uses the locally set system time, and then uses the clock signals generated by its built-in crystal oscillator to maintain the system time.

· Periodically obtains the UTC time from an NTP source, and uses the UTC time, time zone, and daylight saving time to calculate the system time. For more information about NTP, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

The system time calculated by using the UTC time from a time source is more precise.

Restrictions and guidelines for configuring the system time

After you execute the clock protocol none command, the clock datetime command determines the system time, whether or not the time zone or daylight saving time has been configured.

If you configure or change the time zone or daylight saving time after the device obtains the system time, the device recalculates the system time. To view the system time, use the display clock command.

This feature is supported only on the default context. All contexts on the device use the same system time.

Configuring resource monitoring

About this task

The resource monitoring feature enables the device to monitor the available amounts of types of resources, for example, the space for ARP entries. The device samples the available amounts periodically and compares the samples with resource depletion thresholds to identify the resource depletion status.

The device supports a minor resource depletion threshold and a severe resource depletion threshold for each supported resource type.

· If the available amount is equal to or less than the minor resource depletion threshold but greater than the severe resource depletion threshold, the resource type is in minor alarm state.

· If the available amount is equal to or less than the severe resource depletion threshold, the resource type is in severe alarm state.

· If the available amount increases above the minor resource depletion threshold, the resource type is in recovered state.

When a resource type enters severe alarm state, the device issues a severe alarm. If the resource type stays in severe alarm state, the device resends severe alarms periodically.

When a resource type enters minor alarm state, the device issues a minor alarm. If the resource type stays in minor alarm state or changes from severe alarm state to minor alarm state, the device identifies whether resending of minor resource depletion alarms is enabled. If the feature is disabled, the device does not issue additional minor alarms. If the feature is enabled, the device resends minor alarms periodically.

Resource depletion alarms can be sent to NETCONF, SNMP, and the information center to be encapsulated as NETCONF events, SNMP traps and informs, and log messages. For more information, see NETCONF, SNMP, and information center in Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

Enabling a switching fabric module to distribute traffic to multiple IRF interface modules

About this task

In this section, the term "IRF interface modules" refers to interface modules that have IRF physical interfaces. The term "non-IRF interface modules" refers to interface modules that do not have IRF physical interfaces.

By default, traffic from a non-IRF interface module can be forwarded to multiple switching fabric modules. However, the switching fabric modules forward the traffic to only one IRF interface module. After you execute this command for switching fabric modules, the switching fabric modules can forward the traffic to multiple IRF interface modules to implement load balancing.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enable a switching fabric module to distribute traffic to multiple IRF interface modules.

Scheduling a task

About task scheduling

You can schedule the device to automatically execute a command or a set of commands without administrative interference.

You can configure a periodic schedule or a non-periodic schedule. A non-periodic schedule is not saved to the configuration file and is lost when the device reboots. A periodic schedule is saved to the startup configuration file and is automatically executed periodically.

Restrictions and guidelines

· To assign a command (command A) to a job, you must first assign the job the command or commands for entering the view of command A.

· Make sure all commands in a schedule are compliant to the command syntax. The system does not check the syntax when you assign a command to a job.

· A schedule cannot contain any one of these commands: telnet, ftp, ssh2, and monitor process.

· A schedule does not support user interaction. If a command requires a yes or no answer, the system always assumes that a Y or Yes is entered. If a command requires a character string input, the system assumes that either the default character string (if any) or a null string is entered.

· A schedule is executed in the background, and no output (except for logs, traps, and debug information) is displayed for the schedule.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Create a job.

scheduler job job-name

3. Assign a command to the job.

command id command

By default, no command is assigned to a job.

You can assign multiple commands to a job. A command with a smaller ID is executed first.

4. Exit to system view.

quit

5. Create a schedule.

scheduler schedule schedule-name

6. Assign a job to the schedule.

job job-name

By default, no job is assigned to a schedule.

You can assign multiple jobs to a schedule. The jobs will be executed concurrently.

7. Assign user roles to the schedule.

user-role role-name

By default, a schedule has the user role of the schedule creator.

You can assign a maximum of 64 user roles to a schedule. A command in a schedule can be executed if it is permitted by one or more user roles of the schedule.

8. Specify the execution time for the schedule.

Choose one option as needed:

¡ Execute the schedule at specific points of time.

time at time date

time once at time [ month-date month-day | week-day week-day&<1-7> ]

¡ Execute the schedule after a period of time.

time once delay time

¡ Execute the schedule at the specified time on every specified day in a month or week.

time repeating at time [ month-date [ month-day | last ] | week-day week-day&<1-7> ]

¡ Execute the schedule periodically from the specified time on.

time repeating [ at time [date ] ] interval interval

By default, no execution time is specified for a schedule.

The time commands overwrite each other. The most recently executed command takes effect.

9. (Optional.) Set the size of the job execution log file.

scheduler logfile size value

By default, the size of the job execution log file is 16 KB.

The job execution log file stores the execution information of jobs. If the file is full, old records are deleted to make room for new records. If the size of the log information to be written to the file is greater than the file size, the excessive information is not written to the file.

Locating devices

About device locating

The device provides LEDs for device locating. The locator blink blink-time command flashes the LEDs quickly for a specified period of time unless you execute the locator blink stop command.

Restrictions and guidelines

This feature is supported only on the default context.

Starting LED flashing

To start LED flashing, execute one of the following commands in user view:

In standalone mode:

locator blink blink-time

In IRF mode:

locator [ chassis chassis-number ] blink blink-time

Stopping LED flashing

To stop LED flashing, execute one of the following commands in user view:

In standalone mode:

locator blink stop

In IRF mode:

locator [ chassis chassis-number ] blink stop

Rebooting the device

About device reboot

The following device reboot methods are available:

· Schedule a reboot at the CLI, so the device automatically reboots at the specified time or after the specified period of time.

· Immediately reboot the device at the CLI.

During the reboot process, the device performs the following operations:

a. Resets all of its chips.

b. Uses the BootWare to verify the startup software package, decompress the package, and load the images.

c. Initializes the system.

· Power off and then power on the device. This method might cause data loss, and is the least-preferred method.

Using the CLI, you can reboot the device from a remote host.

Restrictions and guidelines for device reboot

For data security, the device does not reboot while it is performing file operations.

Rebooting devices immediately at the CLI

Prerequisites

Perform the following steps in any view:

1. Verify that the next-startup configuration file is correctly specified.

display startup

For more information about the display startup command, see Fundamentals Command Reference.

2. Verify that the startup image files are correctly specified.

display boot-loader

If one main startup image file is damaged or does not exist, you must specify another main startup image file before rebooting the device.

For more information about the display boot-loader command, see Fundamentals Command Reference.

3. Save the running configuration to the next-startup configuration file.

save

To avoid configuration loss, save the running configuration before a reboot.

For more information about the save command, see Fundamentals Command Reference.

Procedure

To reboot the device immediately at the CLI, execute one of the following commands in user view:

In standalone mode:

reboot [ slot slot-number ] [ force ]

In IRF mode:

reboot [ chassis chassis-number [ slot slot-number ] ] [ force ]

CAUTION:

· Execute this command with caution. A device reboot might result in service interruption.

· Use the force keyword to reboot the device only when the system is faulty or fails to start up normally. A forced device reboots might cause file system damage. Before using the force keyword to reboot the device, make sure you understand its impact..

‌

Scheduling a device reboot

Restrictions and guidelines

(In standalone mode.) The automatic reboot configuration is canceled if an active/standby switchover occurs.

(In IRF mode.) The automatic reboot configuration is effective on all member devices. It will be canceled if a switchover between the global active MPU and a global standby MPU occurs.

The device supports only one device reboot schedule. If you execute the scheduler reboot command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

Procedure

To schedule a reboot, execute one of the following commands in user view:

· scheduler reboot at time [ date ]

· scheduler reboot delay time

By default, no device reboot time is specified.

CAUTION:

This task enables the device to reboot at a scheduled time, which causes service interruption. Before configuring this task, make sure you fully understand its impact on your live network.

‌

Restoring the factory-default configuration

About this task

If you want to use the device in a different scenario or you cannot troubleshoot the device by using other methods, use this task to restore the factory-default configuration.

This task does not delete .bin files and license files.

Restrictions and guidelines

This feature is supported only on the default context.

Procedure

To restore the factory-default configuration for the device, execute the following command in user view:

restore factory-default

CAUTION:
