HP 650 - Reset, Clear, and Diag Buttons

Reset, Clear, and Diag Buttons
The Reset, Clear, and Diag buttons on the routing engine let you perform
the following tasks:
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 protects you
from being denied console, Telnet, TFTP, or HP Openview Intercon-
nect Manager access if you have forgotten the password(s).
Clearing the router removes the current password(s), erases all
configuration changes to the default (factory) 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 the console becomes inaccessible.
Obtaining diagnostic information by pressing the Diag button
resets the router and generates diagnostic messages that appear on
the console, in the event log (which can be displayed from the Main
menu), and in the crash history (which can be displayed using NCL’s
Crash command).
