• Reset to Factory Defaults
This option will restore the hardware to its initial factory state. The operations performed if
this option is selected are the following:
i. Remove the cOS Core configuration files. This includes all certificates as well as HA and
DHCP lease settings.
ii. Reset the loader settings.
iii. Remove console security so there is no console password.
iv. Restore default cOS Core and loader executables. If the hardware was delivered with
CorePlus 8.nn preinstalled then the Web Interface will no longer function and the
separate Clavister migration wizard executable will have to be run to upgrade to a cOS
Core 10.nn version.
If the hardware came preinstalled with a CorePlus 9.nn version then the reset will
reinstate this version and an upgrade to cOS Core 10 is achieved by installing the desired
10.nn version. Configuration conversion will take place automatically on initial system
startup.
v. The license will NOT be removed.
• Reset to Base Configuration
This will only reset the configuration to be the original, default cOS Core configuration file.
Other options, such as console security, will not be affected.
• Transfer System
This option is for software only installations running on non-Clavister hardware. It makes it
possible to transfer (or copy) an image of the complete cOS Core system to another portable
media, such as a USB stick. Booting can then be done using this media on another computer
so that the cOS Core system can be installed there on local disk with another "Transfer
System" operation.
• Return to main menu - Go back to the previous, main menu.
Note: A reset does not delete all files from memory
Resetting to factory defaults will not delete any auxiliary files that have been created in
the Clavister Security Gateway memory. For example, any files created by the
pcapdump command will not be deleted. Files related to Anti-Virus or IDP will also not
be deleted.
If any of these undeleted files need to be deleted then this must be done explicitly
through the appropriate CLI command.
Using the Console for CLI Commands
cOS Core will startup either because the initial startup sequence wasn't interrupted to enter the
boot menu or because startup was commenced from the boot menu. Once cOS Core is up and
running, the serial console can also be used to enter any CLI command in the same way that a
SSH client can.
If a console password has been set and a login has not yet been performed then cOS Core will
prompt for the console password before CLI commands can be entered and it is therefore
recommended the console password is enabled as soon as possible in order to prevent
unauthorized access.
