Save Current Settings
The Save Current Settings option (accessed from the main menu) allows you to
save your current configuration settings without resetting your switch or stack.
This option is followed by a screen prompt to confirm the action. Enter Yes to save
your configuration settings; enter No to abort the option. If your switch is
participating in a stack configuration, additional prompts allow you to save your
configuration settings for a specific unit in the stack or for the entire stack.
Reset
The Reset option (accessed from the main menu) allows you to reset your
standalone switch, a specific unit in your stack configuration, or your entire stack
without erasing any configured switch parameters. Resetting your switch takes
approximately 5 seconds. During this time, your switch initiates a self-test that
comprises various diagnostic routines and subtests. The LEDs display various
patterns to indicate that the subtests are in progress. The results of the self-test are
displayed briefly (5 or 10 seconds) in the Self-Test screen (
Figure 3-54), which is
followed by the Nortel Networks logo screen (Figure 3-55).

Note: The Self-Test screen for a switch that is participating in a stack
configuration includes an additional test: Cascade SRAM test. The screen
remains displayed only if the self-test detects a fatal error.
