Configuration Guide

Restoring the factory-default configuration

CAUTION:

Performing this task can cause all next-startup configuration files to be permanently deleted.

To restore the factory-default configuration from the EXTEND-BOOTWARE menu, make sure password

recovery capability is disabled. If the capability is enabled, you cannot perform the task.

Disabling password recovery capability can protect your system from unauthorized console access to

configuration. However, if you have only console access to the system but you have lost the console login

password, you can only access the system after restoring the factory-default configuration.

To enable the system to start up with the factory-default configuration instead of a next-startup

configuration file:

1. Enter 5 in the EXTEND-BOOTWARE menu.

Enter your choice(0-9):5

2. Follow the system instruction to complete the task.

 If password recovery capability is enabled, first disable the capability from the CLI, and then

reboot the device to access the EXTEND-BOOTWARE menu.

Password recovery capability is enabled. To perform this operation, first

disable the password recovery capability using the undo password-recovery

enable command in CLI.

 If password recovery capability is disabled, enter Y at the prompt to complete the task.

Because the password recovery capability is disabled, this operation can

cause the configuration files to be deleted, and the system will start up

with factory defaults. Are you sure to continue?[Y/N]Y

Setting...Done.

Starting up without loading the configuration file

You can perform this task only if password recovery capability is enabled.

To ignore all configuration files and start up with the factory-default configuration, enter 6 in the

EXTEND-BOOTWARE menu. This is a one-time operation, which takes effect only for the first system boot

or reboot (option 1 or option 0 in the EXTEND-BOOTWARE menu). You use this option when you forget

the console login password.

Enter your choice(0-9): 6

Flag Set Success.

Managing the BootWare image

You can use BootWare Operation menu to back up, recover, and upgrade the BootWare image.

To access the BootWare Operation menu, enter 7 in the EXTEND-BOOTWARE menu.
