Chapter 5 Using recovery mode 69
Nortel VPN Router Installation — VPN Router 600
• Alternatively, you can restore a new factory default software image and file
system to the VPN Router 600 hard disk. Specify the name or address and
path of the network file server onto which the software from the Nortel CD
has been installed.
To view your gateway’s serial number when the gateway is operational, click
Status > System from the navigational menu. The serial number is also listed
on the bar code label on the back of the gateway.
2 Click Reformat your Switch’s Hard Disk if you must reformat the hard disk,
for example if you:
— Have problems restoring your configuration that are not caused by the
network or the file/backup server from which the file restoration is being
retrieved.
— Want to reconfigure the VPN Router 600 from scratch.
A message indicates whether the reformatting of the hard disk was successful.
3 Click the list box to view the available software image and file systems that
are stored on the remote disk and select the image version that you want to
activate.
4 Click Files to display the File Maintenance screen, which allows you to view
the entire hard disk file system.
5 Click View to display the Event Log beneath the Recovery Diskette display.
This is especially useful if a Restore operation fails.
6 Reset the system after recovery operation by unplugging the unit. Either AC
or DC power may be interrupted momentarily to accomplish this. Then
reposition your Web browser to the management IP address, and press Reload
or Refresh from your browser menu to access the management page of the
software running on the hard disk.
Note: This option restores the disk to an operable but “clean” condition
(for example, configuration values are at factory defaults).
Caution: Risk of data loss
If you select this option, you erase all information that previously resided
on the hard disk.
