Resetting a Switch

This procedure reboots the switch.

Note

Any configuration changes not saved will be lost once the switch
reboots. To save your configuration changes, return to the Main
Menu and type S to select Save Configuration Changes.

Caution

reload its operating software. Some network traffic may be lost.

To reset a switch, perform the following procedure:

guarantee the above ...

Return.

The switch reinitializes its operating system, a task requiring
approximately 20 seconds to complete. Once complete, the
switch is again ready for normal network operations.
