Cannot Complete Reboot - Firewall Stuck in Reboot

Once Again realized that I need to learn much more to compete here...

It was always a mystery for me abt boot -s (Single User Mode of Nokia) to recover the firewall.


Troubleshooting: Cannot Complete Reboot
=======================================
In certain configurations the Default Filter may prevent the Security Gateway computer from completing the reboot following installation.

First, examine the Default Filter and verify that the Default Filter allows traffic that the computer needs in order to boot.

If the boot process cannot complete successfully, remove the Default Filter as follows:

Reboot in single user mode (for UNIX) or Safe Mode With No Networking (for Windows 2000).

Ensure that the Default Filter does not load in future boots. Use the command

fwbootconf bootconf Set_def

Reboot.



Usage

$FWDIR/bin/fwboot bootconf [value]

options fwboot bootconf

Options


Meaning

Get_ipf


Reports whether firewall controls IP Forwarding.

Returns 1 if IP Forwarding control is enabled on boot.
Returns 0 if IP Forwarding is not controlled on boot.

Set_ipf 0/1


Turns off/on control of IP forwarding for the next boot.

0 - Turns off

1 - Turns on

Get_def


Returns the full path to the Default Filter that will be used on boot.

Set_def


Loads as the Default Filter in the next boot. The only safe, and recommended, place to put the default.bin file is $FWDIR\boot. (The default.bin filename is a default name.)

Note - Do NOT move these files.
