2.1.7. The Console Boot Menu below: Chapter 2. Management and Maintenance If any console key is pressed during these 3 seconds then NetDefendOS startup pauses and the console boot menu is displayed. Initial Boot Menu Options without a Password Set When NetDefendOS is started for the first time with no console password set for console access then the full set of boot menu options are displayed as shown below: The options available in the boot menu are: 1. Start firewall This initiates the complete startup of the NetDefendOS software on the NetDefend Firewall. 2. Reset unit to factory defaults This option will restore the hardware to its initial factory state. The operations performed if this option is selected are the following: • Remove console security so there is no console password. • Restore default NetDefendOS executables along with the default configuration. 3. Revert to default configuration This will only reset the configuration to be the original, default NetDefendOS configuration file. Other options, such as console security, will not be affected. 4. Set console password Set a password for console access. Until a password is set, anyone can utilize the console so selecting setting the password as soon as possible is recommended. After it is set, the console will prompt for the password before access is allowed to either the boot menu or the command line interface (CLI). Initial Options with a Console Password Set If a console password is set then the initial options that appear when NetDefendOS loading is interrupted with a key press are shown below. 51
