Maintenance – Image Unpack
This option unpacks and installs new firmware when the current firmware
has become corrupt. Before using this option, you must load the new
firmware image file onto the switch. The steps to install new firmware using
this option are as follows:
1. Place the switch in maintenance mode. Refer to the procedure for
maintenance mode in “Recovering a Switch Module” on page 4-4.
2. Use the Image command to load a new firmware image file onto the
switch. Refer to the McDATA 4314 Command Line Interface Guide for an
example of using the Image command. Close the FTP session.
3. Establish a Telnet session with the switch using the default IP address
10.0.0.1.
telnet 10.0.0.1
4. Enter the maintenance mode account name and password (prom, prom),
and press the Enter key.
Switch login: prom
Password:xxxx
5. Select option 1 from the maintenance menu. When prompted for a file
name prompt, enter the firmware image file name.

6. Select option 7 to reset the switch and exit maintenance mode.
Maintenance – Reset Network Config
This option resets the network properties to the factory default values and
saves them on the switch. Refer to the Reset command in the McDATA 4314
Command Line Interface Guide for the default network configuration values.
Maintenance – Reset User Accounts to Default
This option restores the password for the Admin account name to the default
(password) and removes all other user accounts from the switch.
Maintenance – Copy Log Files
This option copies all log file buffers to a file on the switch named logfile. You
can use FTP to download this file to the management workstation. You must
download the logfile before resetting the switch.
Maintenance – Remove Switch Config
This option deletes all configurations from the switch except the default
configuration. This restores switch configuration parameters to the factory
defaults except for user accounts and zoning. Refer to Reset command in the
McDATA 4314 Command Line Interface Guide for factory default values.
