Setting the Mode Switch
6E128-26, 6E138-25, 6E129-26 and 6E139-25 User’s Guide C-3
After changing the position of switch 6 and restarting the module, the
6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 request a new image download until they
either receive a new image or the RESET button on the front panel is
pressed. When the RESET button is pressed, the 6E12X-26 and
6E13X-25 continue trying to contact a BootP server, but will time out
in approximately one minute. If the module times out, the image is
downloaded from its FLASH memory.
• Switch 7 – Clear NVRAM. Changing the position of this switch resets
NVRAM on the next power up. ALL user-entered parameters, such as
IP addresses, subnet masks, SNMP traps, and bridging functions are
restored to their factory default settings.
• Switch 8 – Reset Password/Community Strings. Changing the position
of this switch clears only the user-entered passwords stored in
NVRAM, and restores the default passwords. Once the 6E12X-26 and
6E13X-25 are reset, the passwords can either be reentered or the
default passwords (Public and ENTER) may be used.
NOTE
After changing the position of switch 6, DO NOT reapply power
to the chassis until there is a station acting as a BootP server,
which contains the image file.
NOTE
Do not change the position of switch 8 unless it is necessary to
reset the module super-user configured passwords to their
factory default settings.
