Figure 3   Managing the ZyWALL: Web Configurator

The CLI allows you to use text-based commands to configure the ZyWALL. You can access it 
using remote management (for example, SSH or Telnet) or via the console port. See the 
Command Reference Guide for more information about the CLI.

You can use the console port to manage the ZyWALL. You have to use CLI commands, which 
are explained in the Command Reference Guide.

The default settings for the console port are as follows.

Here are some of the ways to start and stop the ZyWALL.

Table 3   Starting and Stopping the ZyWALL

Connecting the power

A cold start occurs when you turn on the power to the ZyWALL. The ZyWALL 
powers up, checks the hardware, and starts the system processes.

Rebooting the 
ZyWALL

A warm start (without powering down and powering up again) occurs when 
you use the Reboot button in the Reboot screen or when you use the 

reboot

 command. The ZyWALL writes all cached data to the local storage, 

stops the system processes, and then does a warm start. 

Using the RESET 
button

If you press the RESET button, the ZyWALL sets the configuration to its 
default values and then reboots.
