Recovering a Router
You may have to recover a router for one of the following reasons:
 The password was changed and has been forgotten.
 The router’s management IP address is unknown.
To recover the router’s password, reset the password to the default by using the
maintenance button (see page 2-8).
You can recover the router’s IP address using either of the following methods:
 Connect to the serial console port (see page 2-13), then use the CLI Set
Mgmt command reconfigure the management port (see page A-44).
 Use the maintenance button to reset the management port’s IP to the factory
default of 10.0.0.1 (see page 2-8).
