Resetting a controller to factory defaults
HP recommends that you use the web interface to reset the controller to factory defaults as follows:
•
Simplified UI
1.
Select
Views
>
Software Settings
>
Backup & Restore > Restore
.
2.
Under
Restore to Factory Defaults
, select
Restore to Factory Defaults
.
•
Advanced UI
1.
Select
Controller
>>
Maintenance
>
Config file management
.
2.
Under
Reset configuration
, select
Reset
.
When you reset the controller to factory defaults, it loses its LAN port IP address and Internet port
configuration. After the controller reboots and the Status LED stays on, press
Ctrl+z
to return to the
switch CLI. Then follow the directions in
“Assign an IP address to the LAN port via the CLI” (page 16)
and
“Perform initial controller configuration” (page 17)
.
