In most cases the above configuration is sufficient and clients on the new LAN can now obtain an address and reach the
Internet. However, there may be other custom settings which need accounted for when adding a new local interface:
• If the DNS resolver has specific interface bindings, add the new interface to the list.
• If using ALTQ traffic shaping, re-run the shaper wizard to include this new LAN type interface.
• Consider using captive portal to control access the interface

Unlike some other models of Netgate hardware, the reset procedure on Netgate 8300 can be triggered while the device
is running and does not require complicated timing.
1. Power on the device if it is not already running.
If the device is booting, wait for the Circle LED to start flashing green or turn solid green.
2. Press and hold the reset button.
Note: This is the recessed button beneath the USB ports and may require a pen, paperclip, or similar tool to
press.
The LEDs will start to fill in amber one by one (Circle, Square, then Diamond) while the button is held in the
depressed state.
3. Continue holding in the button until all of the LEDs start flashing amber.
This will take approximately 8 seconds. Once the LEDs start flashing amber, the factory reset is in progress and
the button can be released. The device will reboot automatically.
To cancel the reset procedure, release the button at any point before the LEDs begin to flash amber. The Circle
LED will return to a solid green state indicating that the reset has been canceled.
4. Wait for the system to complete the reset and finish the boot process.
At the end of the boot process the LEDs will return to the ready state, with the Circle LED solid green.
When the device boots again it will be at its factory default settings and accessible from the LAN at https://192.

If this procedure fails, connect to the console and perform a factory reset there.
