The IP address set by this method is not persistent; to make the change persistent, use the command line interface (CLI) or the SANsurfer Router Manager to set the IP address. For more information, see the iSR6142 Router Manager User's Guide or the iSR6142 Router CLI User's Guide.

Enable DHCP

To reset the router and configure the maintenance port to use DHCP to acquire its IP address, use a pointed, nonmetallic tool to press and hold the maintenance button until the heartbeat LED flashes seven times, then release the button. The router boots and configures the maintenance port for DHCP. The boot time is less than one minute.

Enabling DHCP by this method is not persistent; to make the change persistent, use the command line interface (CLI) or the SANsurfer Router Manager to enable DHCP. For details, see the iSR6142 Router Manager User's Guide or the iSR6142 Router CLI User's Guide.

Restore Factory Defaults

To reset the router and restore it to the factory default configuration, use a pointed, nonmetallic tool to press the maintenance button and hold it until the heartbeat LED flashes 20 times, then release the button. The router boots and is restored to the factory defaults. The boot time is less than one minute.

The router does the following when restored to the factory defaults:

„Resets all passwords.

„Resets the maintenance port IP address to 10.0.0.1.

„Disables the iSCSI ports and sets the IP address to 0.0.0.0.

„Erases all presentations.

„Erases all discovered initiators and targets.

Fibre Channel Ports

The iSR6142 router has two Fibre Channel ports, labeled FC1 and FC2, as shown in Figure 2-6.
