End of Life Procedures

The restore to factory defaults option should also be used as part of the end of life procedure when a

D-Link Firewall is taken out of operation and will no longer be used. As part of the

decommissioning procedure, a restore to factory defaults should always be run in order to remove

all sensitive information such as VPN settings.

As a further precaution at the end of the product's life, it also recommended that the memory media

in a D-Link Firewall is destroyed and certified as destroyed by a suitable provider of computer

disposal services.
