Restart
When you restart from the Restart page, the router sends out your log file (if 
logging is enabled) before the device is reset. The device parameters are 
retained.
To restart the device, click Restart Router.
Backup and Restore
Configuration files can be imported, exported, and copied. The router has two 
managed configuration files, startup and mirror. The device loads the startup file 
from memory when it boots up into the running configuration and copies the 
startup file to the mirror file. Thus, the mirror file contains the last known valid 
configuration. 
If the Startup configuration file is corrupted or fails for any reason, the mirror 
configuration file is used. The router automatically copies the startup configuration 
to the mirror configuration after 24 hours of running in stable condition (no reboots 
and no configuration changes within the 24-hour period).
Restoring the Settings from a Configuration File
To restore the startup configuration from a file previously saved to a PC or USB 
Flash drive:
STEP 1 In the Restore Startup Configuration File section, select Restore Startup 
Configuration File from PC and click Browse. Or select Restore Startup 
Configuration File from USB and click Refresh. 
STEP  2 Select a configuration file (.config). 
STEP  3 Click Restore. This process might take up to a minute. If the configuration file 
contains a different password than the current device management password, you 
are asked to enter this password before the configuration file is restored.
STEP  4 Click System Management > Restart in the navigation tree.
