Rebooting the system

Rebooting the system may occasionally be required in order to refresh the SmartNA-X system and return all
configuration settings to the last saved/applied settings. During the rebooting, users will not be able to access the
system and any users logged in will be automatically logged out.
Note the following impact on TAPs during a reboot:
• Copper ports with TAP mode configured will continue to pass traffic, although there will be a momentary break
in transmission while port relays are activated. The relays will be de-activated once the system is fully rebooted.
See the
mode on copper ports.
• Optical ports (SFP and fiber) will continue to pass traffic throughout the reboot, with no break in transmission
• Tapped traffic will not be copied to output/monitoring ports while the system is rebooting
• Any counters that are running will not be updated during rebooting
