Rebooting the firewall in the CLI
When a fault occurs to a running firewall, you can remove the fault by rebooting the firewall with one of
the following methods:
• Power off and then power on the firewall. This method is also called “hard reboot” or “cold start”.
It will cause data loss and hardware damage. HP does not recommend this method.
• Reboot the firewall at the CLI immediately.
• Reboot the firewall at a specified time at the CLI. You can set a time at which the firewall will
automatically reboot, or set a delay so that the firewall will automatically reboot after the delay.
