Cabletron Systems ESX-1320 manual Setting Mode Switches

Setting Mode Switches

Switch definitions are as follows:

•Switch 1 - Cabletron Systems use only.

•Switch 2 - Cabletron Systems use only.

•Switch 3 - Cabletron Systems use only.

•Switch 4 - Cabletron Systems use only.

•Switch 5 - Cabletron Systems use only.

•Switch 6 - Forced Download. Changing the state of this switch (i.e., moving the switch from one position to the other) clears download information from NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory) and forces a BOOTP/TFTP download.

After changing the switch 6 position and restarting the ESX, the ESX requests a new image download until it either receives a new image from the BOOTP server or the RESET button on the front panel is pressed. When the RESET button is pressed, the ESX continues trying to contact a BOOTP server, but will timeout in approximately one minute. If the ESX times out, the image is loaded from its FLASH memory.

•Switch 7 - Cabletron Systems use only.

•Switch 8 - Password Defaults. Changing the state of this switch clears user-entered community names stored in NVRAM, and restores the default settings. Once the ESX is reset, the community names can either be reentered or the default settings (“public” or <Return>) may be used.

NOTE

Do not change the position of switch 8 unless it is necessary to reset the ESX community names to their factory default settings.
