Reset and Clear Buttons
The router Reset and Clear buttons are accessible through the router
module’s cover plate.
The router Reset and Clear buttons are used for the following proce-
dures (the complete procedures are described on pages 3-5 – 3-9):
Resetting the router runs a minimal self-test and initializes (boots)
the router, regardless of the current operating mode.
Clearing the password(s) removes the current password(s), if
any, without interrupting the current state of the router. This enables
you to access the router using the console, Telnet, TFTP, or a net-
work manager if you have forgotten the password(s).
Clearing the router removes the current password(s), restores the
factory-default configuration, and boots the router. Use this feature
only if you are prepared to lose the router’s current configuration.
You must use this procedure if the configuration is so corrupted that
you cannot access the router using the console.
The hub Password Clear button (which is located on the SNMP module)
is used to clear the password used for access to the hub through its
RS-232 Distributed Management port and from SNMP management
stations. (For more information, refer to the hub’s installation guide.)
