Reset Port Address Table

Selecting this command clears all address table entries for a specified port (user is
queried for which port to reset), sets port traffic counters to zero, and sets Time
Since Last Reset

for this port to zero.

Clear Nonvolatile RAM

Selecting this command will erase all user-configured parameters and reset the
switch.

Note:

Clearing NVRAM (non-volatile RAM) erases all configuration parameters.

Follow these guidelines if you must clear NVRAM:

If you are using the CrossLink feature, be sure to disconnect the affected
ports—or disable them on the Port Configuration screen and reset the
switch—before clearing NVRAM.

If you are using the STP option, be aware that port costs and priorities will be
lost, which may result in loops. Use the menus to reestablish port costs and
priorities, then reset the switch to make the new parameters take effect.

If you are using an SNMP manager, you will need to reconfigure all IP and
SNMP parameters.
