Basically I was experimenting with the using different configs to boot on different partitions to see what I could do with it.
I had 5.0 on one partition and 2.4 on the other. I can only assume I set the wrong config file to boot on the wrong partition and my controller did not like this.
So I go to log in.... and the root user pw did not work. Ok no problem, I went to reset it. I get an error that says, I need to have an IP assigned to my interface before continuing. I try to get into an interface... I get an error stating I don’t have permission to do that.:(
Alright... let’s try to change the config file... I don’t have permission to do that.
Change the boot partition... I don’t have permission to do that.:mad:
Alright... I do a show config. All my interfaces are missing. But at least vlan 1 is still there :confused:
You know that felling when you are fishing and you get a bird’s nest... that what this feels like.
Any help would me much appreciated. Oh yes, this is a 200 controller if that helps any.

FIrst I tried to modify my admin root pw, then I attempted to create a new root user as you suggested. Same error, instructing me to assign the switch an IP address before being able to excute any commands.
I think I just bricked my controller :(
--------------------------------------------------------
I'm wondering if there is a hard reset to clear out the config files for a 200 controller. I'm 99% sure im forcing 2.4 code to use a 5.0 config file and it is bricking my unit.

type "write erase" to reset your controller, then reboot, after you get in as admin.

I would plug into an ethernet port on the controller and see if I am given a 172.16.0.253 address. if you are, then you should browse to the controller at 17216.0.254 and configure it using a browser.

Hello,
Can you detail the commands you use to change the default config files to factory settings?
Thanks!
