To reboot the switch:
STEP 1 Click Administration > Reboot. The Reboot Page
 
opens.
STEP  2 Click one of the Reboot buttons.
• Reboot—Reboots the switch. Since any unsaved information in the Running 
Configuration s discarded when the switch is rebooted, you must click Save 
in the upper-right corner of any window to preserve current configuration 
across the boot process. (If the Save option is not displayed, the Running 
Configuration matches the Startup Configuration and no action is 
necessary.)
• Reboot to Factory Defaults—Reboots the switch by using factory default 
configuration. This process erases the Startup Configuration file; any 
settings that are not saved to another file are cleared when this action is 
selected. 
CAUTION DHCP Auto Configuration should be disabled (enabled by default), otherwise a 
configuration file might be loaded from a TFTP server, instead of the factory default 
settings.
The switch is rebooted.
