Command Line Interface Guide

reboot

This command causes a reboot of the system.

CAUTION:

A reboot erases any configuration changes that have not been saved. If necessary, enter a save command before the reboot command.

Certain configuration settings require a reboot before the setting becomes effective, including:

•A change from IP routing to bridging or the reverse.

•The addition of IKE filters

•IPX changes

•Certain changes to Stateful Firewall rules

Other configuration changes become effective following either a reboot or a restart of the Ethernet or remote interface. These changes include:

•System settings

•Ethernet IP address

•TCP/IP routing

•Remote router default bridging destination

•TCP/IP route addresses

•SAPs and bridging

•Adding a new remote entry to the remote database.

A reboot also ensures that all file system updates are completed. There is a time lag between the entry of a save command and the safe storage of the data in FLASH memory. If the power goes off before the data is stored in memory, the data can be lost. Always reboot before powering off the router. Or, use the sync command to commit file changes to memory.
