Deleting Passwords - When pressed by itself for at least one second, the
Clear button deletes any switch console access passwords that you may
have configured. Use this feature if you have misplaced the password and
need console access.
This button is provided for your convenience, but its presence means that
if you are concerned with the security of the switch configuration and
operation, you should make sure the switch is installed in a secure
location, such as a locked wiring closet.
Restoring Factory Default Configuration - When pressed with the
Reset button in a specific pattern, the Clear button clears any configura-
tion changes you may have made through the switch console, the web
browser interface, or SNMP management, and restores the factory default
configuration to the switch. For the specific method to restore the factory
default configuration, see "Restoring the Factory Default Configuration"
in chapter 5, "Troubleshooting" of this manual.
