The Citrix ADC appliance can be remotely restarted or shut down from the available user interfaces. When a standalone Citrix ADC appliance is restarted or shut down, the unsaved configurations (configurations performed since the last save ns config command was issued) are lost.

In a high availability setup, when the primary appliance is rebooted/shut down, the secondary appliance takes over and becomes the primary. The unsaved configurations from the old primary are available on the new primary appliance.

You can also restart the appliance by only rebooting the Citrix ADC software and not rebooting the underlying operating system. This is called a warm reboot. For example, when you add a new license or change the IP address, you can warm reboot the Citrix ADC appliance for these changes to take place.

Note

Warm reboot can be performed only on nCore appliances.

To restart by using the command line interface

At the command prompt, type:

reboot [-warm]

To restart the Citrix ADC by using the GUI

In the GUI, click Reboot on the home page of the Configuration tab.
When prompted to reboot, select Save configuration to make sure that you do not lose any configurations.

Note: You can perform a warm reboot by selecting Warm reboot.

To shut down the Citrix ADC by using the command line interface

At the command prompt, type:

shutdown –p now: Shuts down the software and switches off the Citrix ADC . To restart Citrix ADC MPX, press the AC power switch. To Restart Citrix ADC VPX , restart the VPX instance.
shutdown –h now: Shuts down the software and leaves the Citrix ADC switched on. Press any key to restart the Citrix ADC. This command does not switch off the Citrix ADC. Therefore, do not switch off the AC power or remove the AC power cables.

Note:

The appliance cannot be shut down from the GUI.
