Setting the Mode Switch

After changing the position of switch 6 and restarting the module, the 6H122-08 requests 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 6H122-08 continues 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 switching 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 6H122-08 resets, the passwords can either be reentered or the default passwords (Public and ENTER) may be used.

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.
