Figure 12: Serial Console Default Command Prompt
NOTE: By default, no password is required for the serial console.
Customers are strongly urged to set a password immediately after
logging in. Refer to the Software Configuration chapter later in this
document for details.
Status LEDs
The following status LEDs are available on the front panel of the IDAN-IDC5915:
1.
RJ-45 Port LEDs - Each port provides a single Green Link/Activity LED, which indicates status of the interfaces:
a.
Off = No Ethernet link detected, or the interface is disabled in the Cisco IOS configuration.
b.
Green Flashing = Ethernet activity detected.
c.
Green Solid = Ethernet link detected.
2.
SYS LED
–
Green/Red LED combines the System and Temperature LED signals from the Cisco 5915 board:
a.
Off = No Power. When power is applied, it takes approximately 10 seconds before SYS will illuminate.
b.
Green Flashing = System is booting (ROMMON boot loader). The router typically takes 1-2 minutes to boot, depending
on the configuration. (If the router does not boot in a timely manner, it may be waiting at a ROMMON prompt due to flash
corruption or a similar issue. If so, this may be debugged via the serial console.)
c.
Green Solid = System is booted and running normally.
d.
Green/Red Flashing = The board has exceeded the temperature threshold of +85
O
C. If the system is not immediately
cooled down, it will reboot within one minute.
3.
DEF LED - Green LED indicates whether or not the Factory Default (declassify) signal has been triggered via the CLR button:
a.
Off = Factory Default not initiated
b.
Green Flashing = CLR has been pressed, Factory Default initiated, erasure in process.
c.
Green Solid = Erasure complete, all interfaces disabled. Router is now in a hung state and must be power cycled.
CLR Button
The CLR button triggers the Factory Default feature, which
allows for quick erasure of the router’s onboard flash memory. This feature is
particularly useful for secure environments where it may be necessary to rapidly remove sensitive information from the router. The CLR button
is
not
enabled by default. It must be configured in Cisco IOS via the
service declassify
configuration command.
To initiate Factory Defaults (if configured):
While the router is booted (SYS LED is solid green), press and release the CLR button. If a
serial console it attached, one can watch the progress messages as the memory is erased. Once the erasure is complete, the DEF LED will be
solid green, all Ethernet interfaces will be disabled, and the router will hang. To use the router again, it must be power cycled, and the
configuration and/or Cisco IOS image must be reloaded.
