BR200 Factory reset after poweroutage.
I have a site with a BR200, FirmwareV5.10.0.5, that has factory reset itself after a power outage. The first time there was a several day outage at the site and when it came back up I noticed the net...
This appears to be caused by damaged configuration partition. You may confirm it by doing following:
1. Add a dummy VLAN, change admin password
2. Reboot device
3. If device is back to factory default state(dummy VLAN gone, password back to default) after reboot, configuration partition is running out of good NAND blocks to replace bad ones.
4. If configuration partition is confirmed to be bad, and the device is under warranty, please request RMA.
5. If device is out of warranty, and BR200 WAN port can get access to Internet in factory reset state, you may add BR200 to Insight. In case of power outage, following will happen:
i/ BR200 boot up, settings are loaded from configuration partition, checksum is wrong, factory default settings are loaded.
ii/ BR200 connects to Insight server, pull settings from cloud
iii/ Settings from cloud over writes default settings and operates as expected.
