4.4USING THE RESET BUTTON

The RESET button, located to the left of the COM port on the 2H22-08R, (refer to Figure 4-3) resets the 2H22-08R processor without affecting the

NVRAM.

NOTE

The RESET button may be used in conjunction with Mode Switch 7 (Clear NVRAM), described in Appendix C, to clear user-entered parameters such as IP addresses and Community Names and to replace them with the 2H22-08R default settings. It is only necessary to use this method of clearing NVRAM when it is not possible to access Local Management.

Clearing NVRAM may also be performed via Local Management. Section 5.7.11, Clearing NVRAM, describes how to perform this procedure.

Pressing the RESET button resets the device, and all current

!switching being performed by the device is halted. A network

CAUTION downtime of up to two minutes will result from this action.
