Once the switch configuration settings have been saved to NV-RAM, they become the default
settings for the Switch. These settings will be used every time the Switch is rebooted.
Reboot Services
The following section will aid the user in rebooting and resetting the Switch using the
following windows, described in detailed.
Reboot Device
The following window is used to restart the Switch.
All of the configuration information, entered from the last time
Save Changes
was executed,
will be lost. Click the Reboot button to restart the Switch.
Figure 9- 9. Reboot window
Reset
The
Reset
function has several options when resetting the Switch. Some of the current
configuration parameters can be retained while resetting all other configuration parameters to
their factory defaults.
Reset gives the option of retaining the Switch’s User Accounts and History Log while
resetting all other configuration parameters to their factory defaults. If the Switch is reset with
this option enabled, and Save Changes is not executed, the Switch will return to the last saved
configuration when rebooted.
Figure 9- 10. Reset window
In addition, the Reset System option is added to reset all configuration parameters to their
factory defaults, save these parameters to the Switch’s non-volatile RAM, and then restart the
Switch. This option is equivalent to Reset Config (above) followed by Save Changes.
NOTE: Only the Reset System option will enter the factory default
parameters into the Switch’s non-volatile RAM, and then restart the
Switch. All other options enter the factory defaults into the current
configuration, but do not save this configuration. Reset System will
return the Switch’s configuration to the state it was when it left the
factory.
