How to reset DN to factory default settings Follow
In case, the IP address has been forgotten or loss to access the DN, below are two methods to reset the unit back to default: via power cycle or accessing through MGMT port
A.) Below link is a short video explaining how to reset unit back to default through power cycle
Resetting DN to factory default
B.) Below are the steps on how to do a soft reset on the unit, in case the first option wasn't successful:
1. scan QR code to get MAC address of MGMT port. (MAC1) (as shown in the attached image)
2. covert the MAC address to IPv6 link local address (there are several online converting tools available)
3. (if PC is windows) make sure IPv6 is enabled, use "ipconfig /all" to check the interface ID
(if PC is linux/macos) use "ifconfig" to get the interface name
Here is an example for the IPv6 address shown under windows:
4. To access the DN by link local address, in other words, having computer directly connected to or same subnet as MGMT port.
ping -6 {DN link local}%{PC interface ID}
http://[DN_link_local%PC_intf_ID]/
For example, taking the MAC1 address shown in the above image to be changed to IPv6 will be as below:
ping -6 fe80::36ef:b6ff:fe8a:13a8%8
http://[fe80::36ef:b6ff:fe8a:13a8%8]
