Resetting the Configuration File When the SRX210 Services Gateway Is Inaccessible
You can use the SRX210 Services Gateway's Reset Config button to restore the
device's configuration file when the current one is faulty or fails. You can also change
the default behavior of the Reset Config button.
This topic includes the following sections:

Using the Reset Config Button on the SRX210 Services Gateway
If a configuration fails or denies management access to the services gateway, you
can use the Reset Config button to restore the device to the factory default
configuration or a rescue configuration. For example, if someone inadvertently
commits a configuration that denies management access to a services gateway, you
can delete the invalid configuration and replace it with a rescue configuration by
pressing the Reset Config button.
NOTE: The Reset Config button is recessed to prevent it from being pressed
accidentally.
The rescue configuration is a previously committed, valid configuration. You must
have previously set the rescue configuration through the J-Web interface or the CLI.
To press the Reset Config button, insert a small probe (such as a straightened paper
clip) into the pinhole on the front panel.
■ By default, pressing and quickly releasing the Reset Config button loads and
commits the rescue configuration through the J-Web interface or the CLI. The
Status LED glows amber during this time. For details, see the JUNOS CLI User
Guide.
■ By default, pressing and holding the Reset Config button for 15 seconds or
more—until the Status LED glows amber—deletes all configurations on the device,
including the backup configurations and rescue configuration, and loads and
commits the factory configuration. For details about factory default settings, see
the JUNOS Software Administration Guide.
