Use the RESET CONFIG button to return the router to either the rescue configuration or the factory default configuration. The button is recessed to prevent it from being pressed accidentally. To press this button insert a small probe (such as a straightened paper clip) into the pinhole on the front panel (see Figure 8 and Figure 9).
For example, if someone inadvertently commits a configuration that denies management access to a Services Router, you can delete the invalid configuration and replace it with a rescue configuration by pressing the RESET CONFIG button. You must have previously set the rescue configuration through the J-Web interface or the CLI. The rescue configuration is a previously committed, valid configuration.
 |
Caution: Pressing and holding the RESET CONFIG button for 15 seconds or more—until the STATUS LED blinks red—deletes all configurations on the router, including the backup configurations and rescue configuration, and loads and commits the factory configuration. |
You can change the default behavior of the RESET CONFIG button. For more information, see the J-series Services Router Basic LAN and WAN Access Configuration Guide.
