VPN 3000 Concentrator Series User Guide
Action
Click a radio button to select the desired action. You can select only one action.
Reboot
= Reboot the VPN Concentrator. 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 Concentrator; 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
System
LED (Model
3005) or the blue usage LEDs (Models 3015–3080) 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.)
Reboot with Factory/Default configuration
= Reboot using all the factory defaults; i.e., 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 Concentrator 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 (don’t allow new sessions)
= Reboot or shutdown as soon as the last
session terminates, and don’t 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 don’t reboot or shutdown now.
