Figure 12-5 Administration Software Update Error Screen

Administration System Reboot

This screen lets you reboot or shutdown (halt) the VPN 3002 with various options.

We strongly recommend that you shut down the VPN 3002 before you turn power off. If you just turn power off without shutting down, you might corrupt Flash memory and affect subsequent operation of the system.

If you are logged in the Manager when the system reboots or halts, it automatically logs you out and displays the main login screen. The browser might appear to hang during a reboot; that is, you cannot log in and you must wait for the reboot to finish. You can log back in while the VPN 3002 is in a shutdown state, before you turn power off.

If a delayed reboot or shutdown is pending, the Manager also displays a message that describes when the action is scheduled to occur.

Note Reboot or shutdown that does not wait for sessions to terminate, terminates all active sessions without warning and prevents new user sessions.

The VPN 3002 automatically saves the current event log file as SAVELOG.TXT when it reboots, and it overwrites any existing file with that name. See Configuration System Events General, Administration Config File Management, and Monitoring Filterable Event Log for more information on the event log file.
