How can I reboot a zyxel pk5001z (Firmware version CZP002-4.3.009.16) via ssh

  • 772

For some reason this router gets terribly slow via the http configuration site and needs rebooted. I can login via ssh but can not get it to reboot. "sys reboot" does not work. Maybe I need to change mode some how. But I can not find a CLI reference manual for this version online either.

Please help me figure out how to reboot this thing via ssh.

Thank you.

  1. It's not a full shell, so no shutdown -r now

    I did find the CLI Reference Guide for ZyXEL and it looks like the command you need is just reboot Section 39.3 here http://www.manualslib.com/manual/363430/Zyxel-Communications-Zywall-Cli.html?page=343#manual

  2. Just so the answer is here, you can do 

    $> su - admin

    pw: 1234

    This should drop you into a limited shell. You can type ? to see a list of commands.

    ZySH> reboot
