Resetting the Configuration to Factory Default

In situations where the XSR has invalid software or a problem booting up, you can reset the router and return it to its factory default settings by accessing Bootrom Monitor Mode. Take these steps:

1.Power up with a serial Com connection.

2.During the first five seconds of system initialization, press CTRL-Cto enter Bootrom mode.

3.When prompted for a password, enter any characters if you have not previously configured a password. If you have configured a password, enter an incorrect password. In either case, the XSR will produce an error message and prompt you to try again.

4.After trying 5 times to enter the “wrong” password, you are prompted to restore factory defaults.

Refer to the XSR CLI Reference Guide and XSR Getting Started Guide for more details about Bootrom Monitoring Mode.

Using the Default Button (XSR 1800/1200 Series Only)

You can also boot up from the factory default configuration by pressing the default button on the rear panel of the XSR 1800 and 1200 Series routers. Doing so will erase the content in the startup configuration in Flash memory. After pressing the default button, the XSR performs the following operations:

•Processor is interrupted

•Software enforces default configuration as running configuration

•Software restarts the XSR

•XSR restarts with default configuration

•Original startup configuration in Flash is erased

•Bootrom password is set to default

•Fault report (if any) is cleared

•Security-sensitive files are erased from Flash

•Bootrom Monitor mode network parameters are set to defaults

•Master encryption key is erased from non-volatile memory

•Console connection restarts

Caution: Pressing the Default button erases all files in Flash memory.
