Hardware reset "downgrades" firmware too?
« on: June 05, 2009, 10:33:37 AM »

Hello!

I have sucessfully upgraded my DFL 210 to firmware version 2.20. After I managed to locked myself out, I performed "15sec press on reset" while powering up.
Procedure did reset settings, but i noticed that version of firmware is back to 2.12. Is that normal?

Best regards!

Yes, that is normal  8) ..... pressing the reset button is a full reset, including firmware.

If you reset it from the HTTP(s) GUI or the serial CLI you will be given the option for to either "Reset Configuration" or "Factory Reset Device".  Reset Configuration does exactly as it sounds, Factory Reset is the one that sends it back to the exact state you took it out of the box in.

That said I think that you can do either via the button on the back depending on time pressed (<10 sec or >= 10 seconds seems logical), however I am not 100% certain as I don't use the reset button, because I don't get the instant feedback I get via serial.

I tryed one first command from manual and it did not work on initial firmware. Only after upgrade to new version that command worked (i typed it from manual, dont remember what it was :)
Is it possible to write some sort of script that would for instance change local lan ip & set dns entries and change scope from one range to something new? And just copy/paste it to terminal window?

No, the terminal buffer on this device is quite small so any script is going to get thwarted, if you switch to SSH then yes, it can be made quite smooth.
