Restore To Factory Defaults - D-Link NetDefendOS User Manual

2.7.4. Restore to Factory Defaults

A restore to factory defaults can be applied so that it is possible to return to the original hardware
state that existed when the NetDefend Firewall was shipped by D-Link. When a restore is applied
all data such as the IDP and Anti-Virus databases are lost and must be reloaded.
Example 2.38. Complete Hardware Reset to Factory Defaults
Command-Line Interface
gw-world:/> reset -unit
Web Interface
1. Go to: Status > Maintenance > Reset & Restore > Reset
2. Select Restore the entire unit to factory defaults then confirm and wait for the restore to
complete.
Resetting to the Base Configuration
An alternative to a complete factory reset is only resetting the firewall to its base configuration.
This means that only the NetDefendOS configuration is reset to its factory default.
Resetting to the base configuration can be done through the CLI or Web Interface. Using the CLI,
the command is:
gw-world:/> reset -configuration
Resetting the DFL-260E, 860E, and 870
To reset the D-Link DFL-260E, 860E, and 870 models, hold down the reset button on the unit for
10-15 seconds while powering up. After that, release the button and the unit will continue to
load and startup with its default factory settings.
Resetting the DFL-1660, 2560 and 2560G
To reset the D-Link DFL-1660, 2560 and 2560G models, press any key on the front keypad when
the Press keypad to Enter Setup message appears on the front display. Now, select the Reset
firewall option and confirm by selecting Yes. Then, wait for the reset process to complete after
which the unit will startup with its default factory settings.
Important: Any upgrades will be lost after a factory reset
It should be understood that a reset to factory defaults is exactly that. Any
NetDefendOS upgrades performed since the unit left the factory will be lost.
