Programming Operations Guide
Restarting the router
When you make OSPF changes to the router, you need to restart the Routing and Remote Access
Service for the changes to take place.
1 On the navigation tree, click the Services key.
2 Click the IP routing heading.
3 On the Tools menu, click Restart Router .
The process takes about a minute.
When the restart is complete, you will see an information dialog box indicating that the restart
was successful.
4 Click the OK button, on the dialog box.
Warning: This procedure will affect any service that requires access across the LAN or
WAN, including IP telephone service.
Note: If the restart fails, you will receive this message:
Generic Error (Failed to restart router. Please reboot the system
for changes to be effective)
If you do not need the changes immediately, schedule a cold start of the Business
Communications Manager for a low-activity period. The Scheduler is located under the
Maintenance button on the first page of the Unified Manager web page.
Otherwise, shut down and then restart the Business Communications Manager. This will
disrupt all telephony service.
