Hello,
I am attempting to schedule a reboot on my switches using the following command:
On the models mentioned in the subject line, I receive the following message:
SSH@SWNAME# reload at 23:00:00 12-05-25
Has anyone encountered this type of issue before?
Thank you.

Hi Chris_SI
Thank you for reaching us
This is a warning message telling you that console login authentication is turned on. In other words, when the switch reloads, anyone connecting via the console port will be required to authenticate with a valid username and password. If no user accounts are configured, you could lock yourself out of the console after the reload.
it’s reminding you to verify that at least one valid user account exists before the reboot happens.
Thank you
