REBOOT
This command causes a reboot of the system. You must reboot to put your initial configuration or later
configuration changes into effect.
Caution: If you have not saved your changes, a reboot erases your changes. Remember to enter the save
command before the reboot command.
Reboot is always required when the following configuration settings are modified:
¥ System settings
¥ Ethernet IP address
¥ Ethernet IPX network number
¥ TCP/IP and IPX routing
¥ Remote router default bridging destination
¥ TCP/IP route addresses
¥ IPX routes
¥ SAPs and bridging
Reboot is also required when you add a new remote entry into the remote database.
Reboot ensures that all file system updates are completed. There is a time lag between the save commands and the
safe storage of the data in FLASH memory. If the power goes off before the data is stored in memory, the data can
be lost. Always reboot before powering off the router. Alternatively, you can use the sync command.
SAVE
The save command saves the entire routerÕs configuration or parts of it to FLASH memory. The keyword in the
command determines what is saved.
Note: There is a time lag between the response issued by the save command and the time when the data is actually
stored in FLASH memory. Issue a sync command after a save command before powering off the router. This
commits the changes to FLASH memory.
Examples:
reboot [default|factory]
default This option deletes the system conÞguration Þle and restores the router to its original defaults
(before any conÞguration was entered).
Note: [Default] must be fully spelled out.
