Resetting the configuration
This feature is used to reset all configuration data for the director to factory default values. You must
have maintenance authorization rights to access this feature.
The Internet protocol (IP) address will reset to the factory default value during this procedure. You
may not recover the Ethernet connection between the director and HAFM appliance if you have
changed the director’s IP addressing from that default value. In this case you must re-enter LAN
addressing, such as IP and gateway addresses, through a terminal attached to the maintenance
port.
Before using the reset configuration option, record the director’s current IP address, which displays
below the icon in the HAFM application’s Product view when the view’s Display Options are set to
Network Address. You can also find the current IP address through the HAFM Basic interface.
After resetting the configuration, reset LAN addressing to the desired values through the
maintenance port or the HAFM Basic interface.
If you have enabled the Full Volatility feature through the director’s maintenance port, this feature
will be disabled when the configuration is reset.
NOTE:
Use of the maintenance port is not covered in this manual. For procedures, see the
McDATA Intrepid Director 6064 Installation and Service Manual for the Director 2/64 and the
McDATA Intrepid Director 6140 Installation and Service Manual for the Director 2/140.
To reset the configuration parameters on the director to the default values:
1.
Select Maintenance > Reset Configuration.
The following warning is displayed:
CAUTION:
This operation will reset all director configuration data and nonvolatile settings
to factory default values. The director must be off line to continue.
2.
Set the director off line. For instructions, see ”
3.
To continue the reset operation, click Reset on the Reset Configuration dialog box.
If you want to cancel the operation, click Cancel.
NOTE:
If you have enabled features (including the Full Volatility feature) that add additional port
function since the switch was shipped from the factory, these features will be disabled (factory
default) when the configuration is reset. Only those ports that were enabled at the factory will
function.
