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.
CAUTION:
Resetting the stack causes some of the traffic being
transmitted over the network to be lost. It also clears all Learned entries
from the Switch Database.
