Troubleshooting

Restoring the Factory-Default Configuration

Restoring the Factory-Default

Configuration

As part of your troubleshooting process, it may become necessary to return

the switch configuration to the factory default settings. This process momen-

tarily interrupts the switch operation, clears any passwords, clears the console

event log, resets the network counters to zero, performs a complete self test,

and reboots the switch into its factory default configuration including deleting

an IP address. There are two methods for resting to the factory-default

configuration:

■ CLI

■ Clear/Reset button combination

Note HP recommends that you save your configuration to a TFTP server before

resetting the switch to its factory-default configuration. You can also save your

configuration via Xmodem, to a directly connected PC.

CLI: Resetting to the Factory-Default Configuration

This command operates at any level except the Operator level.

Syntax: erase startup-configuration Deletes the startup-config file in

flash so that the switch will

reboot with its factory-default

configuration.

Note The erase startup-config command does not clear passwords.

Clear/Reset: Resetting to the Factory-Default Configuration

To execute the factory default reset, perform these steps:

1. Using pointed objects, simultaneously press both the Reset and Clear

buttons on the front of the switch.

2. Continue to press the Clear button while releasing the Reset button.

3. When the Self Test LED begins to flash, release the Clear button.

The switch will then complete its self test and begin operating with the

configuration restored to the factory default settings.
