Reboot/ShutDown

Use this screen to restart or turn off the Zyxel Device.

When you click Reboot or Shutdown, your current configurations made using the web configurator are saved.

Your current configurations made using the command line interface (CLI) are not saved if you didn’t use the copy running startup command to save the current configurations as the startup configurations.

If startup-config.conf has an error, the Zyxel Device may restart with an older configuration file or the factory default configuration file with all your configurations lost. Use Test in Maintenance > Firmware/File Manager > Configuration to check that startup-config.conf does not have an error. See Configuration File Flow at Restart for details on which configuration files are used at start-up.

Click Reboot to restart the Zyxel Device immediately without turning the power off.

Alternatively, if you have not enabled Auto Update in Maintenance > Firmware/File manager > Firmware Management, you may use Schedule Reboot in this screen to automatically restart the Zyxel Device at a particular time each day, once a week, or once a month.

• Select Daily to have the Zyxel Device automatically restart every day at the specified time. The time format is the 24 hour clock, so ‘0’ means midnight for example.

• Select Weekly to have the Zyxel Device automatically restart once a week on the day and at the time specified.

• Select Monthly to have the Zyxel Device automatically restart once a month on the day and at the time specified.

Click Shutdown to prepare the Zyxel Device to turn off. Wait for the PWR/SYS LED to turn off before you remove the Zyxel Device power cable.
