You have physical access to an Aruba CX-Switch with unknown/lost credentials. What are the possible steps to rebuild the credentials? (Select two.)

EUse boot profile 0.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, E

To regain access to an Aruba CX switch when credentials are unknown or lost, one can press and hold the clear button, then power cycle the switch to reset the password. Additionally, using the boot profile 0 at the boot loader menu can be used to bypass the current startup configuration, which may include the unknown credentials.

I'd go with B. Holding the clear button and power cycling is a classic IT troubleshooting move. Simple and effective.

Option E is like a secret cheat code. I wonder if it involves some kind of matrix-style hacking to rebuild the credentials.

I think pressing and holding the clear button, then pressing the reset button for 2 seconds could also work. Let's try that.

I'm not sure about using boot profile 0. Maybe we should call Aruba support for a one-time password instead.

C is the way to go. Pressing the reset button for 2 seconds is very specific, so it must be the right answer.

D is a good backup plan, but I'd try the DIY methods first before calling support. Seems like a lot of extra work.
