Scheduling a Reload of the Software Image
Note
Use the at keyword only if the switch system clock has been set (through Network Time
Protocol (NTP), the hardware calendar, or manually). The time is relative to the configured
time zone on the switch. To schedule reloads across several switches to occur
simultaneously, the time on each switch must be synchronized with NTP.

The reload command halts the system. If the system is not set to manually bootup, it reboots itself. Use
the reload command after you save the switch configuration information to the startup configuration
(copy running-config startup-config).

If your switch is configured for manual booting, do not reload it from a virtual terminal. This restriction
prevents the switch from entering the boot loader mode and thereby taking it from the remote user’s
control.

control.
If you modify your configuration file, the switch prompts you to save the configuration before reloading.
During the save operation, the system requests whether you want to proceed with the save if the
CONFIG_FILE environment variable points to a startup configuration file that no longer exists. If you
proceed in this situation, the system enters setup mode upon reload.
