Update Configuration
When changes are made to a Device Object, use the Update Configuration button to send the
changes from the server to a specific security gateway.
Reset Device Time
Click Reset Time to synchronize the security gateway and VPNmanager workstation to
Greenwich Mean Time.
Reboot Device
To restart a security gateway at any time, click Reboot. (A Cold Start alarm is logged by
VPNmanager and any other trap targets specified.) Note that any existing VPN connections are
dropped and are re-established following the security gateway reboot sequence.
Reboot should normally not be necessary except when the fundamental configuration changes
(such as changing the security gateway’s IP address) are made.
The time for the reboot process to complete varies with each security gateway series. The
VSU-1200/7500 series taking up to approximately two minutes during which VPN connections
through this security gateway are down. For this reason, security gateway reboots should be
performed during scheduled maintenance whenever possible.
