Administrative tasks

This chapter describes administrative tasks that help you operate the VPN Router. These tasks provide details on scheduling backups, upgrading the software image, saving configuration files, performing file maintenance, creating recovery diskettes, and system shutdown.

Shutdown

You use the Shutdown options to shut down immediately, to wait until current users are logged off, or to wait until a designated time. A normal shutdown safely terminates connections so that no data is lost, compared with a spontaneous loss of power.

Additionally, you can select whether to power off or restart after shutdown and which configuration file to use upon restarting. To conduct an orderly shutdown, you can disable new logins, and you can disable logins after the shutdown to perform system maintenance.

Always use the Admin > Shutdown window to shut down the system rather than the Power or Reset buttons on the back of the VPN Router. This ensures the integrity of your file system.

Note: After performing a system shutdown, click Reload/Refresh to see the latest VPN Router information.
