Shutting Down the Security Management Appliance

To shut down your Security Management appliance, do the folliwng:

• Use the Management Appliance > System Administration > Shutdown/Reboot page.

  or

• Use the shutdown command at the command-line prompt.

Shutting down an appliance exits AsyncOS, which allows you to safely power down the appliance. You may restart the appliance at a later time without losing any messages in the delivery queue. You must enter a delay for the appliance to shut down. The default delay is 30 seconds. AsyncOS allows open connections to complete during the delay, after which it forcefully closes open connections.
