Usually a router is restarted so that it executes this function immediately. However, sometimes it is necessary that it be reset at a certain time, long after writing the command. For example, if you need to reboot a router but is not allowed to carry out the process during the production period or during periods of high traffic, it would be interesting to use these options that are included in the IOS router.

Sometimes this is done when it is intended to provide an escape route to any configuration fails, you can restart the router to remove it. Here's how to remove or roll back a command to reload as scheduled.

The commands needed to instruct a router to restart in 20 minutes are:


The command "reload at" to specify the time and date in particular which should restart the router, it is very important to use a time reference valid and reliable to specify the time in routers to use this tool.


The command "reload in" to specify a reason or comment on the reason why it is performing the reset of the router.


If you have any reason to cancel the planned and reload a Cisco router, you can use some command options as "show reload" to see if there is a scheduled task and the command "reload cancel" to cancel the task is scheduled.
