How to reset a Cisco Router

What you will do when you face a login problem once you get a Cisco Router?
Will there any reset button on Cisco Router?

Definitely is NOT!

By the way, here is the step guide you on resetting Cisco Router to factory default setting.
Stay Calm =)

To reset a Cisco router to factory default (removing the startup configuration file), you need to be perform these steps:

To erase the configuration file, issue the erase nvram: command.
Reload the router and attempt to break into ROM Monitor (ROMmon) by issuing the break sequence (usually Ctrl and break from the Hyperterminal) from a console connection.

You should see this ROMmon prompt:
rommon 1>

Then, Change the configure register value to ignore the startup configuration by issuing the confreg command, as shown in this example:
rommon 2> confreg 0×2142

To reload the router, issue the reset command, as shown in this example:
rommon 3> reset

After the router boots, issue the enable command at the Router > prompt.
Router > en
The prompt changes to Router#, indicating that the router is now in privileged mode.

To enter config mode, issue the config terminal command.
You should now see a prompt as below.
Router(config)#

To change the configure register to recognize the startup configuration, issue the config-register command, as shown in this example:
Router (config)# config-register 0×2102

To break out of configuration mode, press Ctrl and Z.
To save the blank configuration, issue the copy-running config-startup config command.

Good Luck =)

1) Go into the Outlook Options
2) then the Advanced option
3) under SEND AND RECEIVE, there is an option SEND IMMEDIATELY WHEN CONNECTED.

How to do zoning for a Brocade SAN switch

Terminology
HBA - Host Bus Adapter, which in this case, refers to the Fibre Channel Card. In LAN networking, it’s analogous to an Ethernet card.
WWN - World Wide Name, a unique 8-byte number identifying the HBA. In Ethernet networking, it’s analogous to the MAC address.
FC Zone - Fibre Channel Zone, a partitioned subset of the fabric. Members of a zone are allowed to communicate with each other, but devices are not allowed to communicate across zones. An FC Zone is loosely analogous to a VLAN.

Steps to Zone Brocade Switch
1) Plug in the FC Connector into an open port on the switch.
2) Login to the server and verify the HBA connection. It should see the switch but not the storage device.
3) Login to the Brocade Switch GUI interface. You’ll need Java enabled on your browser.
4) Check the Brocade Switch Port.

1. On the visual depiction of the switch, click on the port where you plugged in the FC connector.
2. The Port Administration Services screen should pop up. You’ll need to enable the pop-up.
3. Verify that the Port Status is “Online”. Note the port number.
4. Close the Port Administration Services screen.

5) Find the WWN of your new device

1. Navigate back to the original GUI page.
2. Select Zone Admin, an icon on the bottom left of the screen. It looks like two squares and a rectangle.
3. Expand the Ports & Attaching Devices under the Member Selection List.
4. Expand the appropriate port number. Note the attached WWN.

6) Create a new alias for this device

1. Click New Alias button
2. Follow menu instructions

7) Add the appropriate WWN to the alias

1. Select your new device name from the Name drop down menu
2. Expand the WWNs under Member Selection List
3. Highlight the appropriate WWN
4. Select Add Member

8) Add the alias to the appropriate zone

1. Select the Zone tab
2. Select the appropriate zone from the Name drop down menu
3. Select the appropriate alias from the Member Selection List
4. Click Add Member

9) Ensure that the zone is in Zone Config in the Zone Config tab
10) Save your changes by selecting ZoningActions -> Enable Config
11) Login back in to the server to verify. It should now see the storage devices.

Besides that, here has a demo video keep you all for more understanding on how exactly the steps does.
