If you have ever seen the 2200 box, it has a small hole on the right from side marked "factory defaults".
What is interesting, it does not work. It should not, in fact. If you open the manual, the only available available options to revert to a default configuration are about Gaia tools: CLI or WebUI.
The hole is not mentioned in the manual once, and not even elaborated in the pictures there.
There is a button behind the switch, and it can be pressed with a paper clip. It clicks, it does not make any difference.
Considering Check Point uses its own color scheme on the generic appliance. So I am wondering, if the reset hole is not working, why not removing the inscription?
If you know an answer, please share.

Maybe you are not holding the button in long enough. Try the normal procedure for appliances with a factory defaults button:
ReplyDelete1.Press the Factory defaults button using a pin and hold it for at least 3 seconds.
2.When the Power and Notice LEDs are lit in red, release the button.
The appliance reboots itself and starts to restore the factory defaults immediately.
3.While the factory defaults are being restored, all LAN Link and Activity LEDs will blink orange and green alternately to indicate progress.
Joseph, thanks for this. The procedure DOES NOT work for 2200. You are listing one for 1100 series.
Delete2200 appliance: what is "factory defaults" hole for?????
ReplyDeletestill a mystery, considering there is nothing behind that.
DeleteI do not know the device's IP address. Forgot my username and password. How do I reset it?
ReplyDeleteYou need to re-image it with USB DVD and appropriate CP version you want to use
DeleteCP t-110 where is download image? you know? so thanks...
ReplyDeleteHold on, that is not 2200 appliance, it is a completely different deal. use a paper clip, gently press a button in the hole and power up appliance. Keep pressing for at least 5 sec. Its should revert to factory default.
DeleteIf this is not working, read the manual, that might also help.
