Introducing the ProCurve Series 8200zl Switch

Front of the Switch

Clear Button

This button, located on the System Support Module, is used for the following purposes:

Deleting Passwords - When pressed by itself for at least one second, the Clear button deletes any switch console access passwords that you may have configured. Use this feature if you have misplaced the password and need console access.

This button is provided for your convenience, but its presence means that if you are concerned with the security of the switch configuration and operation, you should make sure the switch is installed in a secure location, such as a locked wiring closet.

Restoring Factory Default Configuration - When pressed with the Reset button in a specific pattern, the Clear button clears any configura- tion changes you may have made through the switch console, the web browser interface, or SNMP management, and restores the factory default configuration to the switch. For the specific method to restore the factory default configuration, see “Restoring the Factory Default Configuration” in chapter 5, “Troubleshooting” of this manual.
