SUPPORTED DEVICES: None

UPPORTED DEFENSE CENTERS: DC1000, DC3000
For DC1000 and DC3000 Defense Centers, which have CD-ROM drives,
Sourcefire provided a restore CD when you purchased the appliance. If you want
to restore the appliance to a different version, you can download the appropriate
ISO image and create a new ISO (not data) restore CD, which you can then use to
restore the system; see
Obtaining the Restore ISO and Update Files on page 201.
Note that because you use a CD to restore these Defense Centers, you cannot
install updates as part of the restore process on those appliances. Instead,
update the appliances afterward.
To restore a DC1000 or DC3000 using a CD:
A
CCESS: Admin
1. Place the restore CD in the Defense Center’s CD tray.
If the appliance is off, power it on to open the tray.
2. Using your keyboard/monitor or serial connection, log into the Defense
Center using an account with Administrator privileges. The password is the
same as the password for the Defense Center’s web interface.
The prompt for the Defense Center appears.
3. At the prompt, access root privileges: type
sudo su -, press Enter, then
provide your password.
4. At the
root prompt, reboot the Defense Center by typing reboot.
The Defense Center boots from the CD. This can take several minutes.
5. When prompted, confirm that you want to restore the Defense Center.
6. Choose whether you want to delete the appliance’s license and network
settings. Deleting these settings also resets display (console) settings.
In most cases, you do not want to delete these settings, because it can make
the initial setup process shorter. Changing settings after the restore and
subsequent initial setup is often less time consuming than trying to reset
them now. For more information, see Next Steps on page 218.
