2.6.4. Restore to Factory Defaults
Chapter 2. Management and Maintenance
End of Life Procedures
The restore to factory defaults option should also be used as part of the end of life procedure when a
D-Link Firewall is taken out of operation and will no longer be used. As part of the
decommissioning procedure, a restore to factory defaults should always be run in order to remove
all sensitive information such as VPN settings.
As a further precaution at the end of the product's life, it also recommended that the memory media
in a D-Link Firewall is destroyed and certified as destroyed by a suitable provider of computer
disposal services.
