Schedule Reboot of GSM7248 and GS724AT

Apologies if been answered before, but can't find any answer online.

Is it possible to schedule a reboot of these switches?

 

I need to reboot during the middle of the night as they are core switches, but don't particularly want to wake up at 2am and manually reboot them.

    Hi SuncareICT,

     

    Welcome to Netgear Community!

     

         Actually, Switch not support schedule reboot independently. If you want to reboot switch during the middle of the night, I suggest you could schedule execute a script(i.e bat, VBS) by windows. For example: create a script to telnet switch and do reboot related command, then schedule auto running the script by windows task.           

        But as you said, these switches are core switch, it will affect service seriously if switch is abnormal. So it's better to reboot switch by manual and keep monitoring for a while, make sure all service is recovery.
