Button Action
Reset Performs a software and hardware reset, including a hardware self-test. (This
achieves the same result as disconnecting the power from the switch, then
reconnecting it.)
Config When used as described below, causes the switch to delete the current
Clear configuration, and to reboot to a default configuration. This resets the switch
to the factory default and is a drastic action that interrupts switch operation
and can seriously diminish or even halt network operation. Depending on the
current network operating condition, it may be best to avoid a reset until you
can schedule system downtime. Some reasons for a reset include:
• The switch appears to be malfunctioning, and pressing just the Reset button
does not clear the problem.
• Several elements in the configuration may be inconsistent with each other
and it is more efficient to start with the defaults than to try to adjust individual
parameters.
To clear the current configuration and reboot the switch:
1. Press and release the Reset button. All LEDs turn on momentarily.
2. While all LEDs are turned on, press and hold the Config Clear button until the
Self-test LED begins flashing, then immediately release the Config Clear button.
If a console is connected, you will see the following message when the switch
has reset itself to the factory default configuration and rebooted.
Waiting for speed sense. Press enter to continue.
3. Press [Enter] to restart the console.
To clear the password(s)
Press and release the Config Clear button.
