Model 2960/2996 RAS User Manual 3 • Configuring the RAS for operation

From the Home page, the following actions can be performed:

•Record Current Configuration—clicking on this button (figure 20) causes the current configuration to be stored in FLASH memory. Any changes made to the RAS configuration are stored in non-volatile RAM first. This allows the user to set the box up with a working configuration before committing it to FLASH. Configuration changes become permanent when you select Record Current Configuration. You will lose all changes not stored to FLASH the next time the RAS is re-booted.

•Hard Reset—this button (figure 20) causes the RAS to perform a cold restart. When you select Hard Reset, the RAS confirms that you want to execute this command. Then, the RAS will disconnect all current ses- sions, re-initialize the interfaces, and re-load configuration parameters from FLASH.

•Set Factory Default Configuration—this button (figure 20) clears out the configuration in FLASH and loads the factory default parameters into FLASH memory. The factory default settings will not execute on the RAS until it is re-booted.

Note Set Factory Default Configuration (figure 20) will delete any routing information, the RAS’s Ethernet IP address, and any other site spe- cific settings made for your particular installation. You will have to re- enter the RAS’s Ethernet IP address and netmask using the front panel control port in order to use the HTTP/HTML Manage- ment pages.
