2.6.4. Restore to Factory Defaults

1. Go to Tools > Backup
2. In Restore unit's configuration browse and locate the desired backup file
3. Click Upload configuration and then choose to activate that configuration
This feature could, for example, be used to recall the "last known good" configuration when
experimenting with different configuration setups.
2.6.4. 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 D-Link Firewall was shipped by D-Link. When a restore is applied all
data such as the IDP and Ant-Virus databases are lost and must be reloaded.

Reset alternative for the DFL-210/260/800/860 only
To reset the DFL-210/260/800/860 you must hold down the reset button at the rear panel for 10-15
seconds while powering on the unit. After that, release the reset button and the unit will continue to
load and startup in default mode as though it were brand new. The IP address 192.168.1.1 will be
assigned to the LAN interface.
Reset alternatives for the DFL-1600 and DFL-2500 only
Press any key on the keypad when the "Press keypad to Enter Setup" message appears on the
display. Select "Reset firewall", confirm by selecting "Yes" and wait for the process to complete.
Note: Dynamic data will be lost
Backups include only static information in the NetDefendOS configuration. Dynamic
information such as the DHCP server lease database or Anti-Virus/IDP databases will
not be backed up.
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.
Warning
DO NOT ABORT THE RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS PROCESS. If aborted
the D-Link Firewall can cease to function properly.
