G450 - NVRAM Init

[wpetilli]

I'm re-purposing some G450 GW's and for this particular one, I was connected via the services port, logged in and did an nvram init.. confirmed the command and now I can no longer get back to a login prompt. 192.11.13.6 doesn't reply. I read about some jumper to put on the pins, but I don't have one of those. Is there any other way to get back into this thing?

I've removed all the MM's.. tried booting a few more times and still can't get a reply from the services port.

Try another PC? Clear your arp cache on your pc maybe? services port should always be 192.11.13.6 for it and .5 for you.

If you fired up wireshark on your PC and plugged up to the services port you should see some "who has 192.11.13.5?" type rarp messages.

If that lot doesn't work try using the console RJ45 to 9 pin serial lead. i would never recommend doing an NVram INIT to a box without having one.
Serial connection is 9600 8, none 1 use putty set for serial.

This got sorted.. I pulled the MM's and rebooted again. It took quite a while, but I started getting replies. The other recommendations I had already tried, except using the console port.
