Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Hardware Installation Guide

To troubleshoot autonegotiation problems, try manually setting both sides of the connection. If this does not
solve the problem, there could be a problem with the firmware or software on your NIC. You can resolve this
by upgrading the NIC driver to the latest version.
Cabling Distance
If the port statistics show excessive FCS, late-collision, or alignment errors, verify that the cable distance
from the switch to the connected device meets the recommended guidelines.
Clearing the Switch IP Address and Configuration
If you have configured a new switch with a wrong IP address, or if all of the switch LEDs start blinking when
you are trying to enter Express Setup mode, you can clear the configured IP address. The switch returns to
the factory default settings.
This procedure clears the IP address and all configuration information stored on the switch. Do not follow
this procedure unless you want to completely reconfigure the switch.
Note
Procedure
Step 1
Press and hold the Mode button. The switch LEDs blink after about 2 seconds. If the switch is not configured,
the LEDs above the Mode button turn green. You can omit the next step.
Step 2
Continue holding down the Mode button. The LEDs stop blinking after 8 seconds, and then the switch reboots.
You can now configure the switch by using Express Setup as described in the switch getting started guide.
You can also configure the switch by using the CLI setup procedure described in the appendix.
