Reboot

49.1 Overview

Use this to restart the device (for example, if the device begins behaving erratically). See also Section 1.5 on page 35 for information on different ways to start and stop the ZyWALL.

49.1.1 What You Need To Know

If you applied changes in the Web configurator, these were saved automatically and do not change when you reboot. If you made changes in the CLI, however, you have to use the write command to save the configuration before you reboot. Otherwise, the changes are lost when you reboot.

Reboot is different to reset; (see Section 51.1 on page 773) reset returns the device to its default configuration.

49.2 The Reboot Screen

The Reboot screen is part of the Web configurator so that remote users can restart the device. To access this screen, click Maintenance > Reboot.

Figure 445 Maintenance > Reboot

Click the Reboot button to restart the ZyWALL. Wait a few minutes until the login screen appears. If the login screen does not appear, type the IP address of the device in your Web browser.

You can also use the CLI command reboot to restart the ZyWALL.
