Reset PA-200 to default settings

I can't seem to find the control for resetting the PA-200 to the original out of the box config. Any assitance is appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

In order to reset to factory defaults, you'll need to console directly to the PAN device through its console port.

Then, you'll need to reboot the machine. During boot, hit the letter "m". Then if asked, type "maint".

This should enter you into maintenance mode, and from there you can reset to factory defaults.

Let us know if you have any issues.

Thanks,

Jason Seals

Jason:

Thank you, do you have something already made up for stepping me through a layer 3 install. The quick start is OK, but something more descript would be better.

Thanks,

Steve

Steve,

Here is a video that goes through a basic L3 deployment.

Otherwise, the Administrators guide is also a good resource.
