System Reboot
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 3015–3080, 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.
