Restoring Factory Settings

You can quickly return the ICS appliance to its original factory settings from the browser-based management tool, a Telnet session, or the command line. After restoring factory settings, you must reinitialize the appliance using a crossover cable or an attached monitor and keyboard.

WARNING:  Restoring factory settings removes all the settings you have configured. This includes passwords, network addresses, and all ICS cache services. You can automatically restore the settings if you have prepared an AUTOLOAD file on a floppy disk. See Saving and Restoring Appliance Configurations and Import / Export Tab.

From the Browser Based Management Tool

1. Click System > Actions> Click Factory Settings.

2. Do one of the following:

   • Restore factory settings by clicking Restore.
   • Cancel the action by clicking Do Not Restore.

From a Telnet Session or the Command Line

1. At the ICS prompt, enter

   factorysettings

2. Do one of the following:

After restoring factory settings, you can configure the appliance manually (see Novell ICS Quick Start) or apply a previously created configuration file to the appliance (see Saving and Restoring Appliance Configurations and Import / Export Tab).
