Safe Mode configuration 57
Method 2: Via any switch management interface using TFTP functionality
1.
Power up the switch using the Diagnostic Station or by inserting the switch in a non-production blade enclosure.
After resetting the switch to factory settings (if required), login to the switch CLI via the serial console as
Admin
.
2.
If the switch cannot get BootP assigned IP settings, configure the switch IP address settings so that it can access
a TFTP server on the attached network.
3.
Open the
Safe_Mode_GbE2
template configuration file using any text editor, such as Microsoft WordPad, and
make the changes as suggested by the comments in that template configuration file.
4.
From any switch management interface, enable TFTP download of the template configuration file with your
edits.
5.
Apply the changes and save to flash.
6.
Power up the switch by inserting it into a production blade enclosure. This boots up the switch in Safe Mode
with all ports except uplink port 19 disabled.
7.
Access any of the switch management interfaces through uplink port 19, and complete the switch configuration
appropriate for your production network. Or, you can use the serial port to complete the switch configuration
appropriate for your production network.
