Reassigning the Default Settings for the Switch
This procedure resets the switch settings to the factory default settings,
listed in Appendix A. This procedure can only be performed through
the RS232 port of the switch. You cannot perform this procedure
through a web browser or Telnet Omega session.
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 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 or a PC with a terminal emulator program to the
RS232 port on the front panel of the switch.
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 is displayed.
4. Select D from the menu. The following warning message is displayed:
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-tests and initialized and rebooted the
system software, you must reassign an IP address to the switch if the
device is in TCP/IP network.
