Resetting Switch Defaults

To restart the switch at any time with no configuration, enter the command:
RESTART SWITCH CONFIG=NONE
If has changed, to set it back to the default configuration by saving
boot.cfg
the default dynamic configuration to the
CREATE CONFIG=boot.cfg
To set the switch to restart with the boot configuration file, enter the command:
SET CONFIG=boot.cfg
DO NOT clear the FLASH memory completely. The software release files are
stored in FLASH, and clearing it would leave no software to run the switch.

Checking Connections Using PING

If an aspect of the router's configuration dependent on access to a server
functions incorrectly, PINGing the server from the switch, and the switch from
the server, is a useful first step in diagnosis.
You can use PING (Packet Internet Groper) to check whether there is a
connection between the switch and another routing interface in the network.
Use the router's extended PING command over IPv4, IPv6, IPX and AppleTalk
network protocols. PING sends echo request packets in the chosen format, and
displays responses at the terminal. Enter the command:
PING [{[IPADDRESS=]ipadd|[IPXADDRESS=]network:station|
[APPLEADDRESS=]network.node}] [LENGTH=number]
[NUMBER={number|CONTINUOUS}] [PATTERN=hexnum]
[{SIPADDRESS=ipadd|SIPXADDRESS=network:station|
SAPPLEADDRESS=network.node}] [SCREENOUTPUT={YES|NO}]
[TIMEOUT=number] [TOS=number]
file, enter the command:
boot.cfg
