Rebooting the security gateway appliance
Most of the changes you make to security gateway configurations can be activated using the Activate
toolbar button or menu item. These include the creation of objects such as rules, tunnels, and users,
and the configuration of features such as antivirus, antispam, and content filtering. Some situations,
however, require you to reboot the appliance as part of a change process.
Rebooting the appliance is incorporated into the following security gateway processes:
■
An appliance reboot occurs automatically:
■
If you use the System Setup Wizard to change the appliance host or domain name, default
gateway, or any interface properties, or lock the LCD panel
■
After you restore a configuration, a reboot occurs automatically.
■
You use the Reboot Cluster option to reboot all cluster members after making cluster changes.
There are additional situations where you must manually reboot the appliance for a change to take
effect, including:
■
After you add or remove licenses, to register the change.
■
After you install or uninstall some hotfixes
■
If you have problems joining SESA.
Note:
Symantec Gateway Security 5000 Series v3.0 requires Symantec Advanced Manager for
Security Gateways v3.0.
■
If you make changes using command line commands.
You should not change security gateway configurations unless directed to do so by Symantec
Technical Support.
You can also reboot the appliance manually using the System menu options on the appliance front
panel. See the section on using the System menu in the
Symantec Gateway Security 5000 Series v3.0
