22.7 Legacy Series / Re: Reset DEC 740 device ?
« on: August 03, 2022, 05:10:52 pm »What is needed is a hardware guide, e.g. how to get at the boot selector.+1 on that point for sure ! and also get some specific details that are specific at appliances sold by Deciso
When you booted all the way to the menu without going through the boot selector, you most probably booted from internal SSD and not from your USB key. So you cannot login with installer/opnsense - it's your existing live system.
You must get at that boot thingy somehow and select the USB key ... I'd mess around with that a bit more before giving up.
oki I found out that you can even access the bios of the device and there I can select USB boot so now I have a DEC 740 that boots fine from USB drive. Relogged in it using the installer account and so could reinstall the appliance with latest OS I was running already from live USB key.
Once reinstalled, rebooted without USB key and OS was well clean, did the initial configuration to assign ports (LAN/WAN) and as soon as I had configured one of the SFP+ in DHCP my internet connection went up straight
Thanks for all your help, going to blay a little now with options and tweaking it at best
