Hub Password Clear button

Figure 3-2. Reset and Clear Buttons

The router Reset and Clear buttons are used for the following procedures (the complete procedures are described on pages 3-5 – 3-9):

Resetting the router runs a minimal self-test and initializes (boots) the router, regardless of the current operating mode.

Clearing the password(s) removes the current password(s), if any, without interrupting the current state of the router. This enables you to access the router using the console, Telnet, TFTP, or a network manager if you have forgotten the password(s).

Clearing the router removes the current password(s), restores the factory-default configuration, and boots the router. Use this feature only if you are prepared to lose the router’s current configuration. You must use this procedure if the configuration is so corrupted that you cannot access the router using the console.

The hub Password Clear button (which is located on the SNMP module) is used to clear the password used for access to the hub through its RS-232 Distributed Management port and from SNMP management stations. (For more information, refer to the hub’s installation guide.)
