Chapter 3 Configuring the Device

User’s Guide
A serial console message states that the “Configuration Erasure Process has
been initiated” and the system sends an SNMP/SYSLOG alert. The Status LED
blinks amber once every second.
After the first reset is accepted, the power LED blinks green. The serial console
message now reads, “Waiting for 2nd confirmation.”
2.
Release the button for one second.
3.
Push the reset button again for four to six seconds. A serial console message
states “Second push has been confirmed.”
The Status LED lights amber for one-half second, then returns to the blinking
green state.
Continue to press the button until the message “Configuration Erase sequence
accepted, unit reset.” The system generates SNMP and SYSLOG alerts to
configured SYSLOG or SNMP trap hosts.
4.
Release the button.
5.
The NetScreen-5XT now erases the configuration and restarts.
If you do not follow the complete sequence, the reset process cancels without any
configuration change and the serial console message states, “Configuration Erasure
Process aborted.” The status LED returns to blinking green. If the unit did not reset, an
SNMP alert is sent to confirm the failure.
Note:
During a reset, there is no guarantee that the final SNMP alert sent before
the reset reaches the receiver.
