Resetting the Router Module

The Reset button is recessed to prevent unintentional resets. To reset the router module, use a nonconducting, pointed implement such as a wooden pencil or a toothpick to press and release the recessed Reset button on the router module’s cover plate. (See figure 3-2 on page 3-4.) The Reset process includes the following:

All LEDs on the router module’s cover plate (except for SNMP Mgt Fault) are turned on while the Reset button is pressed.

A self-test of the router module is run. During this test, which lasts about 18 seconds, the Router Self-test LED is turned on.

The router module is disconnected from the console.

The router module is initialized (booted) using the most recently saved configuration.

If the factory-default configuration is being used, the router module looks for a SmartBoot configuration on the WAN or LAN by sending Bootp requests out the WAN port and the internal LAN port for approximately one minute.

If a SmartBoot configuration has been set up on the WAN or LAN for the router module, that configuration is retrieved (provided that the required WAN or LAN link is connected), then the router module is rebooted with the SmartBoot configuration.

After you reconnect the console to the router (see step 5 on page 1-23), the Copyright and Main Menu screens appear.

Resetting the hub, or powering the hub off and on, resets the router as described above (except that the router self-test may last up to 30 seconds if the hub had previously been powered on with the SNMP module installed, or up to 60 seconds if the hub had not previously been powered on with the SNMP module installed).

For more information about the initialization that occurs when you reset the router module, refer to “Initialization Sequence” on page 3-10. For more information about SmartBoot, refer to appendix C, “SmartBoot”.
