Switch definitions are as follows:
•
Switch 1 - Cabletron Systems use only.
•
Switch 2 - Cabletron Systems use only.
•
Switch 3 - Cabletron Systems use only.
•
Switch 4 - Cabletron Systems use only.
•
Switch 5 - Cabletron Systems use only.
•
Switch 6 - Forced Download. Changing the state of this switch (i.e.,
moving the switch from one position to the other) clears download
information from NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory)
and forces a BOOTP/TFTP download.
After changing the switch 6 position and restarting the ESX, the ESX
requests a new image download until it either receives a new image
from the BOOTP server or the RESET button on the front panel is
pressed. When the RESET button is pressed, the ESX continues trying
to contact a BOOTP server, but will timeout in approximately one
minute. If the ESX times out, the image is loaded from its FLASH
memory.
•
Switch 7 - Cabletron Systems use only.
•
Switch 8 - Password Defaults. Changing the state of this switch clears
user-entered community names stored in NVRAM, and restores the
default settings. Once the ESX is reset, the community names can
either be reentered or the default settings (“public” or
be used.
NOTE
Do not change the position of switch 8 unless it is necessary to
reset the ESX community names to their factory default
settings.
