ATTO FibreBridge 7500N factory reset

[not_so_funny]

Is there a way to do factory reset on 7500n? got a used one and it doesn't connect with dhcp (dhcp works with same cable and another system). what will happen if i buy serial cable and it asks for password? Or is there factory reset when the power cords are pulled?

Just follow https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Protection_and_Security/MetroCluster/How_to_reset_(to_default)_the_username_and_password_of_the_... . It will not just reset the password but the whole bridge.

Can smb. please suggest USB to RJ45 cable? Those i've found seem to have different RJ45 pin-out.

did you use 11520 baud rate? the bridges and new fas/aff controllers do not use 9600 any more.

no, i just connected it to the switch and looked at the empty dhcp status table. i don't have any serial cable and need to buy it...

I wanted to buy the cable at the attached image, but the 6500n manual says pin 1 is DSR and not CTS (whatever that means...). Will it work?

Ah, great! I'm going to get a serial cable then...

Procedure

WARNING: Do not perform this action on more than one bridge at a time.

• Disable access to the ATTO FibreBridge
  • For Fabric attached MetroCluster, disable the switchport before resetting the password
  • For stretched MetroClusters, disable the FC port before resetting the password

• Reset the bridge configuration
  • To reset the bridge password, connect the serial cable to the bridge to access CLI (the serial port does not require a password).
  • Default baud rate is 115200.
  • From the serial command line execute

  • restoreconfiguration default

  • If the command does not ask to restart, run the following command:

  • saveconfiguration restart

  • The process of setting the bridge back to defaults implies that all settings will be reset including
    • IP address
    • configuration settings

• Reconfigure the bridge according to the MetroCluster configuration guide (fabric/stretched)

• Enable access to the ATTO FibreBridge
  • For Fabric attached MetroCluster, re-enable the switchport after reconfigure
  • For Fabric attached MetroCluster, re-enable the FC port after reconfigure
