Switch Units in the
Stack
You can reset the Switch units in the stack using the reset command
on the System menu.
To reset the units:
1 At the top-level menu, enter:
system reset
The following prompt is displayed:
Are you sure you want to reset the system (y/n) [y]:
2 Enter y if you wish to proceed, or n if you want to stop the reset.
What Happens During a Reset?
Resetting the Switch units in the stack simulates a power-off/on cycle.
You may want to do this if you need to:
Remove all the Learned entries in the Switch Database (SDB).
Reset the statistic counters of the stack.
ATTENTION: Resetting the stack may cause some of the traffic being
transmitted over the network to be lost. It also clears all Learned entries
from the Switch Database.
The stack takes about 10 seconds to reset. While the stack is resetting,
the command line interface cannot communicate with the stack.
You can initialise the Switch units in the stack using the initialise
command on the System menu.
To initialise the units:
1 At the top-level menu, enter:
system initialise
The following prompt is displayed:
Do you wish to continue (y/n) [y]:
2 Enter y if you wish to proceed, or n if you want to stop the
initialization.
