Troubleshoot the Switch Chapter 5
Restart or Reset the Switch If you cannot solve an issue by reconfiguring a feature, you can restart or reset
the switch to solve the issue. If the issue exists after you reset the switch to its
default settings, it is unlikely that the switch is causing the issue.
Restart or Reset the Switch from Device Manager
From the Admin menu, choose Restart/Reset.
ATTENTION: Resetting the switch deletes all customized switch settings, including the IP address, and returns the switch to its
factory default. The same software image is retained. To manage the switch or display Device Manager, you must reconfigure
switch settings, as described in
Chapter 2 , and use the new IP address.
IMPORTANT When you restart or reset the switch, connectivity of your devices to the network is interrupted.
