activate-file

Function

The activate-file command sets the file activation mode and time on the Commander.

The undo activate-file command restores the default file activation mode and time.

By default, if downloaded files include the system software (*.cc), devices immediately activate all files by resetting. In addition, if the downloaded files in the batch upgrade scenario include the configuration file, the devices also activate files immediately by resetting.

Format

activate-file { reload | { in time | delay delay-time } } ^*

undo activate-file [ reload | in [ time ] | delay [ delay-time ] ]

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If clients use the default method to activate files, network services will be affected. This issue is especially prominent in the batch upgrade scenario where each upgraded device may carry a lot of services. Resetting these devices will interrupt services. Therefore, the devices should activate files when service volume is small.

Precautions

If the reload parameter is specified, the client activates files by resetting regardless of whether or not downloaded files include the system software.
The undo activate-file command restores the default file activation mode and time. If the reload, in, and delay parameters are specified in the undo activate-file command, the default configurations are restored.
The file activation mode can be set in the Easy-Operation view or group view. If the client matches a group, the configuration in the group view takes effect for the client.
