NOTE:
•
The configuration file must be with extension .cfg.
•
During the execution of the save command, the startup configuration file to be used at the next system
startup may be lost if the firewall reboots or the power supply fails. In this case, the firewall will boot with
the factory defaults, and after the firewall reboots, you need to re-specify a startup configuration file for
the next system startup.
Rebooting a module or the firewall
To reboot a firewall, use one of the following methods:
•
Use the
reboot
command to reboot a firewall.
•
Enable the scheduled reboot function at the CLI. You can set a time at which the firewall can
automatically reboot, or set a delay so that the firewall can automatically reboot within the delay.
•
Power on the firewall after powering it off, which is also called hard reboot or cold start. Powering
off a running firewall causes data loss and hardware damages, and therefore is not recommended.
Perform the following operation to reboot the firewall immediately:

CAUTION:
•
If you execute the reboot command without specifying the slot keyword, the command reboots the
firewall.
•
If no host software file is specified, do not use the reboot command to reboot the firewall. In this case,
you should specify the host software file first, and then reboot the firewall.
•
The precision of the rebooting timer is 1 minute. One minute before the rebooting time, the firewall
prompts “REBOOT IN ONE MINUTE” and reboots in one minute.
•
If you are performing file operations when the firewall is to be rebooted, the system does not execute the
reboot command for security.
