48.1 Resetting the Device
The Maintenance Actions page allows you to remotely reset the device. In addition, before
resetting the device, you can choose the following options:
Save the device's current configuration to the device's flash memory (non-volatile).
Perform a graceful shutdown, whereby device reset starts only after a user-defined
time (i.e., timeout) or after no more active traffic exists (the earliest thereof).
Notes:
• Throughout the Web interface, parameters displayed with a lightning
symbol are not applied on-the-fly and require that you reset the device
for them to take effect.
• When you modify parameters that require a device reset, once you click
the Submit button in the relevant page, the toolbar displays "Reset" (see
'Toolbar Description' on page 47) to indicate that a device reset is
required.
• After you reset the device, the Web GUI is displayed in Basic view (see
'Displaying Navigation Tree in Basic and Full View' on page 49).
• Upon reboot, the device restores the settings from its configuration file.
However, if reboot attempts fail three times consecutively, the device
resets the configuration file by restoring factory defaults before
attempting to reboot.
