Cisco Small Business 500 Series Switches

Dear Friends

I wish you are fine .......... Kindly i have a question regarding Cisco Small Business 500 Series Switches ....... This series has reset button in the front panel ...... This button can be used to manually restart the switch or restore factort defaults configuration

Is their any way to disable the functionality of this button ???? The reason for that , I have a customer that will put the switch in unsafe & unsecure place and doesn't need any one to restore default configuration of the switch by mistake or on purpose

Waiting for your feedback

Best Regards

Hi Ahmed, there is not an option to disable this button. If it is absolutely impossible to lock the switch somewhere secure I'd recommend to use some tape and put over the button or secure something over the button so it's not easily tampered.

If you're happy to void any warranty, it might be possible to pull up the hood and cut some wires to that button ?
