Figure 12-6 Administration System Reboot Screen

Action

Click a radio button to select the desired action. You can select only one action.

Reboot = Reboot the VPN 3002. Rebooting terminates all sessions, resets the hardware, loads and verifies the software image, executes system diagnostics, and initializes the system. A reboot takes about 60-75 seconds. (This is the default selection.)

Shutdown without automatic reboot = Shut down the VPN 3002; that is, bring the system to a halt so you can turn off the power. Shutdown terminates all sessions and prevents new user sessions (but not administrator sessions). While the system is in a shutdown state, the SYS LEDs blink on the front panel.

Cancel a scheduled reboot/shutdown = Cancel a reboot or shutdown that is waiting for a certain time or for sessions to terminate. (This is the default selection if a reboot or shutdown is pending.)

Configuration

Click a radio button to select the configuration file handling at reboot. These selections apply to reboot only. You can select only one option.

Save the active configuration at time of reboot = Save the active configuration to the CONFIG file, and reboot using that new file.

Reboot without saving the active configuration = Reboot using the existing CONFIG file and without saving the active configuration. (This is the default selection.)
