CHAPTER 17: Backing Up and Restoring Configurations

Resetting an Appliance Completely

In the event that you either lose the superadmin login or
password to the box, or you have a configuration problem
that you cannot fix in any other way, you may want to
completely reset the Vclass appliance.
This procedure is for the V60, V60L, V80, or V100.
This procedure will reset the V60 or V80 to factory
defaults. This procedure should be followed if you lose the
password to the unit or have a configuration problem with
the unit where you cannot otherwise remedy the configu-
ration. After this process completes:
• All ethernet interfaces will revert back to their default
addresses
• The superadmin username and password will revert
back to "admin"
• The policy database and all other configuration data
will be erased

What you need

• A PC with a terminal emulator program, for example
Hyperterminal
• The RJ45 to RJ45 "null modem" serial cable and DB9
serial adapter supplied with the Vclass unit
• The serial number from the V60, V60L, V80, or V100
appliance

Restoring the appliance

1 Connect the null modem serial cable from the PC's
serial port to the Console port on the Vclass appliance.
2
Launch the terminal emulator program. Set the
terminal emulator to use the serial port you are
