Appendix A - Troubleshooting; Fixing Common Setup Problems - D-Link DWS-1008 User Manual

DWS-1008 User's Manual
Some common problems that occur during installation and basic configuration are simple
to solve. However, to "recover" the system password, you must delete the existing
configuration.
System logs provide a history of MSS events. Traces display real-time messages from all
MSS areas. Some show commands are particularly useful in troubleshooting. The show
tech-support command combines a number of show commands into one, and provides an
extensive snapshot of your switch configuration settings for the D-Link Technical Support.

Appendix A - Troubleshooting

Remedy
1. Use set timezone to set the
time zone in which you are
operating the switch.
2. Use set timedate to
configure the current time
and date in that time zone.
3. Reconfigure the
administrative certificate(s).
4. If you have already
configured a certificate on
the switch for authentication
by network users, you must
recreate this certificate, too.
