M7100-24X - ProSafe 24-port 10G - how to reset to Factory Defaults
Hello Community, With the previous debacle of a Netgear 10GBe switch, I have obtained now the Netgear M7100-24X - ProSafe 24-port 10G so I can continue in our endeavour of upgrading our backbone to ...
And .. R E S O L V ED !!
Searching the KB, I found the "How do I clear the password on a managed GSM switch with firmware 10.x?"
Using the USB Console Driver as available in the download-section (Thank You, Netgear!!) and, because I'm using a Mac, ZTerm to a solid terminal going, I set-up a USB-based serial connection from my Mac.Indeed, pressing Q the moment the switch shows "checking for application.." worked and I was able to reach the "service-menu"
And there, following the procedure as outlined for erasing the password(s)
Then using a FAT32 USB stick with the latest firmware, using the GUI to update the firmware (download) and then a reset-command.
And the switch is now working (read: accessable) again as expected.Too bad that Java has been deappreciated that the Systerm->Device View no longer works.
If anybody has any suggestions how I can get that to work again (perhaps a plugin in the browser?) would make me very happy.
BTW, the M7100-24X is a beast but also loud :)
