hibernate

Syntax

hibernate <seconds>

Description

Hibernate the system. This command saves the current configuration and powers off the system for the specified period. When the hibernation period expires, the switch will power up and boot using the normal boot process. A typical use case is to have the job scheduler execute the hibernate command. For example, put the switch into hibernate mode from midnight until 5 a.m.

During hibernation, the system will not respond to any network traffic and the console will be inaccessible. The only way to reboot the switch before the hibernation period expires is to press the Mode button on the front panel or cycle power, thus disabling the hibernate job and timer.

The system prompts for y or n confirmation before putting the system into hibernate mode.

NOTE:

This feature is available on the 2930M and only in standalone. It is disabled for stacks.
