Resetting the Device to Factory Defaults
NetScreen-5GT 11
Using the Reset Pinhole
You can reset the NetScreen-5GT and restore the factory default settings by pressing the
reset pinhole. To perform this operation, you need to either view the status LEDs on the
front panel or have a Console session as described in “Using a Console Connection” on
page 8.
1. Locate the reset pinhole on the rear panel. Using a thin, firm wire (such as a
paper clip), push the pinhole for four to six seconds and then release.
The Status LED blinks amber. A message on the Console states that erasure of
the configuration has started and the system sends an SNMP/SYSLOG alert.
2. Wait for one to two seconds.
After the first reset, the power LED blinks green; the NetScreen-5GT is now
waiting for the second push. The Console message now states that it is waiting
for a second confirmation.
3. Push the reset pinhole again for four to six seconds.
The Status LED lights amber for one-half second, and then returns to the
blinking green state.
4. The NetScreen-5GT resets to its original factory settings.
When it resets, the Status LED turns amber for one-half second and then
returns to the blinking green state. The Console message states that the
configuration is erased and the unit is reset. The system generates SNMP and
SYSLOG alerts to configured SYSLOG or SNMP trap hosts.
5. The NetScreen-5GT restarts.
If you do not follow the complete sequence, the reset process cancels without any
configuration change and the console message states that the erasure of the configuration
is aborted. The Status LED returns to blinking green. If the device did not reset, an
SNMP alert is sent to confirm the failure.
