•Use the reboot command to reboot a firewall.
•Enable the scheduled reboot function at the CLI. You can set a time at which the firewall can automatically reboot, or set a delay so that the firewall can automatically reboot within the delay.
•Power on the firewall after powering it off, which is also called hard reboot or cold start. Powering off a running firewall causes data loss and hardware damages, and therefore is not recommended.

CAUTION:
•If the main host software file is not specified, do not use the reboot command to reboot the firewall. In this case, you should specify the main host software file first, and then reboot the firewall.
•The precision of the rebooting timer is 1 minute. One minute before the rebooting time, the device prompts “REBOOT IN ONE MINUTE” and reboots in one minute.
•If you are performing file operations when the device is to be rebooted, the system does not execute the reboot command for security.
