Setting the Mode Switch

Switch 6 – After changing the position of switch 6 and restarting the 
module, the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 request a new image download 
until they either receive a new image or the RESET button on the front 
panel is pressed. When the RESET button is pressed, the 6E12X-26 
and 6E13X-25 continue trying to contact a BootP server, but will time 
out in approximately one minute. If the module times out, the image is 
downloaded from its FLASH memory.
Switch 7 – Clear NVRAM. Changing the position of this switch resets 
NVRAM on either the next power up or the next operation of the front 
panel RESET switch. ALL user-entered parameters, such as IP 
addresses, subnet masks, SNMP traps, and bridging functions are 
restored to their factory default settings.
Switch 8 – Reset Password/Community Strings. Changing the position 
of this switch clears only the user-entered passwords stored in 
NVRAM, and restores the default passwords. Once the 6E12X-26 and 
6E13X-25 are reset, the passwords can either be reentered or the 
default passwords (Public and ENTER) may be used.
NOTE
After changing the position of switch 6, DO NOT reapply power 
to the chassis or reset the module until there is a station acting 
as a BootP server, which contains the image file.
NOTE
Do not change the position of switch 8 unless it is necessary to 
reset the module super-user configured passwords to their 
factory default settings.
