Switching On Device Via Wake-On-Lan; Restoring Factory Configuration - CheckMK rack1 Mark III Manual

Check_MK rack1 Mark III - Manual 28 / 61

10.2 Switching on device via Wake-on-LAN

The device is factory-configured to allow it to be switched on from the local LAN via WOL (Wake-on-
LAN). This enables you for example to start an inadvertently shut down appliance up again via pure
network access.
To "wake up" an appliance, you need the MAC address of the appliance's network interface card and
a system switched on in the same network segment. You must send a special network package to the
appliance from this system. You can generate such packages on Linux systems, using the command-line
command wol for example. You may have to install this program yourself, since it is not installed as
standard with most Linux distributions.
You can use the following command to wake up an appliance:
wol de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe
Of course, you need to replace the example MAC address de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe with the MAC address of
your device.
10.3 Restoring factory configuration
You can reset your device to factory settings. This means that any changes you have made to the device
(e.g. your device settings, monitoring configuration or recorded statistics and logs) will be deleted.
When resetting the settings, the firmware version currently installed will be kept; the firmware installed
when the device was delivered will not be restored.
You can perform this action on the console. To do this, press the key <F2> on the status screen and select
Restore factory configuration in dialogue box that follows. Confirm the next dialogue box by clicking
