Reset the Switch Using TFTP
Reset the Switch via TFTP by attempting to read or write a file named reset. This
is not a valid file name on the Switch, but any request from a TFTP client to store
or retrieve a file named reset will cause the Switch to reset itself.
To reset the Switch using TFTP:
1.
Connect to the Switch using TFTP.
2.
Select either binary or text file transfer mode (Unix only).
3.
Attempt either to upload (put) or to download (get) a file named reset.
The Switch will return the error message, “MKII RESET” before resetting.
NOTE:
Since resetting the Switch disrupts service on the Fibre Channel ports, this feature
allows a possible denial-of-service attack on the Switch. Only trusted users should
have access to the management port on the Switch.
