Testing the switch by resetting
If you believe the switch is not operating correctly, you can reset the switch to test
its circuitry and operating code. To reset the switch, unplug and plug in the power
cord (power cycling).
Power cycling the switch will cause the switch to perform its power-on self test.
You can reset the switch from the web interface. Login to the switch web interface,
and from the home page, select Diagnostics > Reboot Switch.
Restoring to factory defaults
If you forget the switch IP address or password, you can restore the factory default
configuration by pressing the Reset and Clear buttons.
To restore the factory default settings on the switch, perform these steps:
1.
Using a small, thin tool with blunt ends (such as a paper clip), simultaneously
press both the Reset and Clear buttons on the front of the switch.
2.
Continue to press the Clear button while releasing the Reset button.
3.
Release the Clear button.
The switch will then complete its self test and begin operating with its configu-
ration restored to the factory default settings.
After completing this procedure, there will be no password, the switch will return to
attempting to automatically acquire an IP address via a DCHP service, and all
configuration settings will be set to factory defaults.
You can restore the factory default configuration to the switch from the web interface.
Login to the switch web interface, and from the home page, select Diagnostics >
Factory Defaults.
