Functions of the reset button
The reset button has the following functions:
• Restart of the device
To restart the device, press the Reset button briefly.
Note
If you make changes to the c
onfiguration and restart immediately afterwards with the
reset button, the changes may be lost. If you restart the device using the WBM (menu
command "System > Restart") or using the CLI (command "restart" in the Privileged
EXEC
Modus), the configuration changes are always retained.
Upkeep and maintenance
• Loading new firmware
If the "Load & Save" menu command of Web Based Management is unsuccessful, the
reset button can be used to load new firmware. This situation can occur if there is a
power outage during the normal firmware update. You will find further information in
the configuration manual in Downloading new firmware using TFTP without WBM and
CLI.
