Administration | System Reboot
This screen lets you reboot or shutdown (halt) the VPN Concentrator with various options.
Caution
We strongly recommend that you shut down the VPN Concentrator before you turn power off. If you just
turn power off without shutting down, you may corrupt flash memory and affect subsequent operation
of the system.
If you are logged in the Manager when the system reboots or halts, it automatically logs you out and
displays the main login screen. The browser may appear to hang during a reboot; that is, you cannot log
in and you must wait for the reboot to finish. You can log back in while the VPN Concentrator is in a
shutdown state, before you turn power off. On the Models 30153080, all 10 blue usage monitor LEDs
on the VPN Concentrator front panel blink when the system is in a shutdown state. On the Model 3005,
the System LED blinks.
If a delayed reboot or shutdown is pending, the Manager also displays a message that describes when
the action is scheduled to occur.
Caution
Reboot or shutdown does not wait for sessions to terminate. It terminates all active sessions without
warning and prevents new user sessions.
The VPN Concentrator automatically saves the current event log file as
SAVELOG.TXT
when it reboots,
and it overwrites any existing file with that name. See Configuration | System | Events | General,
Administration | File Management
, and
Monitoring | Filterable Event Log
for more information on the
event log file. 4-2

Administration | System Reboot Screen
Screen Elements 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 30153080) 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 ignoring the configuration file = 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. 4-3

default is 10 minutes after the current system time. Wait for sessions to terminate (do not allow new sessions) = Reboot or shutdown as soon as the
last session terminates, and dont 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 Click to take action with the selected options. The Manager returns to the main
Administration screen if you dont reboot or shutdown now. Cancel Click to cancel your settings on this screen. The Manager returns to the main
Administration screen. (Note that this Cancel button does not cancel a scheduled reboot or
shutdown.) 4-4
