Cisco Systems VPN 3002 manual Administration | Ping, When to Reboot/Shutdown, 12-7, Apply/Cancel

Chapter 12 Administration

Administration Ping

•Reboot ignoring the Configuration file = Reboot using all the factory defaults; that is, start the system as if it had no CONFIG file. You will need to go through all the Quick Configuration steps described in the VPN 3002 Getting Started manual, including setting the system date and time and supplying an IP address for the Ethernet 1 (private) interface, using the system console. This option does not destroy any existing CONFIG file, and it does not reset Administrator parameter settings.

When to Reboot/Shutdown

Click a radio button to select when to reboot or shutdown. You can select only one option.

•Now = Reboot or shutdown as soon as you click Apply. (This is the default selection.)

•Delayed by [NN] minutes = Reboot or shutdown NN minutes from when you click Apply, based on system time. Enter the desired number in the field; the default is 10 minutes. (FYI: 1440 minutes = 24 hours.)

•At time [HH:MM] = Reboot or shutdown at the specified system time, based on a 24-hour clock. Enter the desired time in the field. Use 24-hour notation and enter numbers in all positions. The default is 10 minutes after the current system time.

•Wait for sessions to terminate (do not allow new sessions) = Reboot or shutdown as soon as the last session terminates, and do not allow any new sessions in the meantime. If you (the administrator) are the last session, you must log out for the system to reboot or shutdown.

Apply/Cancel

To take action with the selected options, click Apply. The Manager returns to the main Administration screen if you do not reboot or shutdown now.

To cancel your settings on this screen, click Cancel. The Manager returns to the main Administration screen. (Note that this Cancel button does not cancel a scheduled reboot or shutdown.)

Administration Ping

This screen lets you use the ICMP ping (Packet Internet Groper) utility to test network connectivity. Specifically, the VPN 3002 sends an ICMP Echo Request message to a designated host. If the host is reachable, it returns an Echo Reply message, and the Manager displays a Success screen. If the host is not reachable, the Manager displays an Error screen.

You can also Ping hosts from the Administration Sessions screen.
