Managing a Switch

Reassigning the Default Settings for the Switch
This procedure explains how to reset the switch settings to the factory
default settings, listed in Appendix A. This procedure can only be
performed locally through the RS232 port on the switch.
Warning
This procedure should be performed with caution. Resetting a
switch to its default settings deletes all existing settings, including
the IP address of the switch and the port settings. Any defined
VLANs also are deleted, and all ports are returned to the Default
VLAN.
To reset the switch settings to the factory default settings, perform the
following procedure:
1. Attach a terminal to the RS232 port on the front panel of the switch
and begin the terminal emulation program.
2. Press the Reset button on the switch.
3. Immediately press any key when you see the following prompt:
Hit any key to run diagnostics or to reload
system software.
A menu displays.
4. Select D from the menu. The following warning message displays:
WARNING: This will erase all current
configuration data!
Continue? Y/N
5. Type Y for yes.
The system displays the following prompt:
All configuration data has been reset to factory
default values.
6. Type B to boot the switch software.
The switch performs a series of diagnostic self-test. The Fault LED on
the front panel of the switch flashes during the self-tests. After the
switch has completed its self-test, reinitialized the management
software, and rebooted, you must reassign an IP address to the switch
if the device is in TCP/IP network.
