Resetting a Switch
This procedure explains how to reset a switch using the Omega
interface. You might need to reset the switch to resolve an error
condition or after you have made a configuration change to the switch
that requires resetting the device to activate the change.
You can also reset a switch by pressing the Reset button, located on the
front panel of the switch, with a small pointed object, such as a ballpoint
pen. You can also reset the switch by unplugging the switch’s power
cord from the power source and plugging it back in.
To reset a switch using the Omega interface, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Omega Main Menu, select Administration.
The Administration menu in Figure 19 is displayed.

Note
The Administration menu will include two additional selections if
you are running a local Omega management session: XModem
software update to this system and Connect to a remote system.
2. Select Reset and restart the system.
A prompt is displayed asking you to confirm the command.
3. Select Yes to reset the switch or No to cancel the command.
The switch will reset itself. The switch runs a series of self-tests that
take approximately 30 seconds to complete. During the tests, the
Fault LED on the front of the switches flashes. Once the tests are
completed, the Fault LED will remain OFF.
