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.
