Rebooting your firewall

You can reboot the firewall in one of the following ways to recover from an error condition:

•

Reboot the firewall immediately at the command line interface (CLI).

•

At the CLI, schedule a reboot to occur at a specific time and date or after a delay.

•

Power off and then re-power on the firewall. This method, also known as hardware reboot or cold
reboot, might cause data loss, and is the least preferred method.

IMPORTANT:
•

Specify the boot file before you use the reboot command to reboot the firewall.

•

For data security, if you are performing file operations at the reboot time, the system does not reboot.

The precision of the rebooting timer is 1 minute. One minute before the rebooting time, the firewall
prompts "REBOOT IN ONE MINUTE" and reboots in one minute.

To reboot a firewall:
