Resetting the configuration
NOTE:
You must have maintenance authorization feature permissions to access this feature.
This option resets to factory default values all configuration data input through options in the
Configuration menu, zoning configurations, and switch addressing. Since the current IP address
for the switch may not match the factory default address, the Ethernet link between the switch and
the HAFM appliance may drop and not reset.
After resetting the configuration, you must reset the original address on the switch through the
maintenance port or the EWS interface to maintain LAN connections and communication with the
HAFM appliance.
To reset your product configuration:
1.
Record the switch’s current IP address, which is displayed below the switch’s icon in the HAFM
Physical/Topology Map view (Display Options set to Network Address), or through the
EWS interface.
2.
Set the switch off line. For instructions, see ”
3.
Select Maintenance > Reset Configuration. The following warning is displayed:
CAUTION! This operation will reset all switch configuration data and
non-volatile settings to factory default values. All optional features will
also be disabled. The switch must be offline to continue.
NOTE:
If you have enabled features (including the Full Volatility feature) that add additional port
function since the switch was shipped from the factory, these features will be disabled (factory
default) when the configuration is reset. Only those ports that were enabled at the factory will
function.
NOTE:
Factory default values may vary, depending on the firmware release installed in your
switch. For a list of values, refer to the appropriate service manual for your Edge Switch.
4.
Click Reset to reset all configuration data.
NOTE:
If you have changed the switch‘s IP addressing from the factory default value, you may not
recover the Ethernet connection between the switch and the HAFM appliance because the Internet
Protocol (IP) address will reset to the factory default during this procedure.
For complete steps in recovering this connection, refer to the Reset Configuration Data procedure for the
Element Manager in the appropriate service manual for your Edge Switch.
