Password Recovery Procedure for the for LANE/MPOA Modules
Note: It's describing the password recovery procedure for the following Local Area Network Emulation (LANE) and Multiprotocol over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (MPOA) modules:
- WS-X5161
- WS-X5162
- WS-X5165
- WS-X5167
- WS-X5168
Step 1: Issue the reset <slot_num>command from supervisor for the LANE/MPOA board.
Step 2: Hit the ESC key within 3 seconds.
Step 3: Choose option 2, the Modify Jumper Configuration menu item.
Step 4: Answer n to all questions until you see the following line :
DMON jumper .................Disabled. Want to change (y/n/q/e/d)?
Step 5: Type e to enable debug monitor mode.
Step 6: To extit the menu type q
Step 7: Reset the LANE/MPOA board again from the supervisor.
Step 8: Enter the debug monitor mwl command
The monitor asks for the start address, count and data. Enter the following data (again, you do not need to press Enter): DMON:> mwl Start Addr? 20000000 Count? 0006ffff Data? ffffffff
This erases the NVRAM configurations. Note: The count value should not exceed 6ffff. If you type in the wrong value, you can quit this mwl command at any moment by typing q.
Step 9: Type q or f to debug the monitor. This takes you through the usual boot programmable read-only memory path.
Step 10: Hit the ESC key within 3 seconds.
Step 11: Choose option 2 to disable the debug monitor jumper.
Step 12: Type d to disable the jumper.
Step 13: Type q to quit the menu.
The LANE/MPOA board boots to the Cisco IOS prompt as usual but it does not have a configuration in NVRAM. You can now reconfigure it as needed.
