Front and Rear Panel Components
This article describes the front and rear panel components of a Cloud Services Gateway (CSG) 5000 series appliance. For the exact location of these components on the appliance, see At a Glance.
Front Panel
The front panel of a CSG5000 series appliance has a power button, a reset button, and four status LEDs located, as shown in Figure 1.

Power Button
Pressing the power on/standby button on the front panel of a CSG5000 series appliance turns the power on.
To turn the power off, use one of the following methods:
- Press and release the power on/standby button. This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the operating system before the appliance enters standby mode.
- Press and hold the power on/standby button for 4 seconds or more. If an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.
Reset Button
The Reset button on the front panel of a CSG5000 appliance resets the appliance to the factory-default settings. The reset functionality depends on the number of times you press the button within a span of 30 seconds, as described in Table 3. In between each press of the reset button, you must pause for a second to register the key press.
The Reset button is recessed so that it is not accidentally pressed while the appliance is operational.
To press the Reset button, use a narrow tool.
Table 3: Reset Button Press Behavior
| Number of Presses | Behavior |
|---|---|
| 2 | Reset the appliance to the factory-default snapshot. |
| 4 | Reset the appliance to the branch prestaging configuration. |
| 6 | Reset the appliance to the branch staging configuration. |
| 8 | Reset the appliance to branch post-staging configuration. |
Reset the Appliance from the CLI
You can reset the appliance to the factory-default configuration by issuing the request system reset CLI command. To do this, your first connect to the appliance through the serial console port or by using SSH.
The factory-default reset procedure can take up to 20 minutes to complete. Do not power off the appliance during this time.
To reset an appliance to the factory-default configuration:
- To connect to the appliance through the serial console port, see Configure a Management Console to Connect to a CSG5000 Appliance.
- To connect to the appliance using SSH, connect your PC to the management port of the appliance. For the port mapping on the CSG5000 appliance, see Interface Numbering. The management port has the default static IP address 10.10.10.10/24. Configure the PC IP address to any IP from this segment, for example, 10.10.10.1/24. Open an SSH session to the appliance using its IP address, 10.10.10.10.
- Log in to the appliance using the username "admin" and the password "versa123".
- Start the CLI:
% cli
- Issue the following command to reset the configuration to the factory default. If the current software version on the appliance is the same as that of the factory reset snapshot, the procedure takes about 10 minutes to complete. If the software versions are different, the procedure takes about 20 minutes to complete. Do not power off the appliance during the process.
# request system reset
- Verify that all Versa services are running by issuing the vsh status command from the Linux bash CLI. The following is a sample output of this command. If all the services are shown as stopped, issue the vsh start command from the Linux bash CLI to start them manually.
# vsh status versa-service is Running, [*] process 6784 versa-infmgr is Running, [-] process 5623 versa-rfd is Running, [-] process 5838 versa-vmod is Running, [-] process 5839 versa-ip2user is Running, [-] process 5844 versa-imgr is Running, [-] process 5848 versa-acctmgrd is Running, [-] process 5845 versa-fltrmgr is Running, [-] process 5648 versa-vstated is Running, [-] process 5625 versa-addrmgrd is Running, [-] process 5857 versa-rt-cli-xfm is Running, [-] process 5798 versa-rtd is Running, [-] process 5827 versa-dhcpd is Running, [-] process 5620 versa-eventd is Running, [-] process 5843 versa-vrrpd is Running, [-] process 5643 versa-dnsd is Running, [-] process 5646 versa-ppmd is Running, [-] process 5793 versa-snmp-xform is Running, [-] process 5800 versa-certd is Running, [-] process 5849 versa-ntpd is Running, [*] process 5612 versa-dhclient6 is Running, [-] process 5807 versa-redis is Running, [-] process 6927 versa-av-redis is Running, [-] process 5003 versa-spackmgr is Running, [-] process 5832 versa-monit is Running, [*] process 6078 versa-confd is Running, [*] process 4798 versa-fail2ban is Running, [*] process 6093 versa-auditd is Running, [*] process 6116 versa-nodejs is Running, [-] process 5775
- Power off the appliance:
# sudo poweroff
Rear Panel
The rear panel of a CSG5000 series appliance has the following components, as shown in Figure 2:
- Two hot-swappable power supply units (PSUs), each 850 W, that provide 1+1 redundancy with front-to-back airflow
- Three front-to-back cooling field-replaceable fans that provide 2+1 redundancy
