What Happens During a Reset?
Resetting the Switch units in the stack simulates a power-off/on cycle.
You may want to do this if you need to:
■
Remove all the Learned entries in the Switch Database (SDB).
■
Reset the statistic counters of the stack.
ATTENTION:
Resetting the stack may cause some of the traffic being
transmitted over the network to be lost.
The stack takes about 10 seconds to reset. While the stack is resetting,
the Web browser cannot communicate with the stack.
Initializing All the
Units in the Stack
You can initialize all the Switch units in the stack using the Initialize
page.
To access the page:
1
Click the
Configuration
icon on the side-bar.
2
Click the
Initialize
hotlink. The Initialize page is displayed.
To initialize the stack, select
Yes
and then click
Apply
.
What Happens During an Initialization?
Initializing the Switch units in the stack returns them to their default
(factory) settings. You may want to do this if the stack has previously
been used in a different part of your network, and its settings are
incorrect for the new environment.
ATTENTION:
Use great care when initializing the stack — it removes all
configuration information, including security, resilient links and
passwords. However, IP and SLIP information is retained to ensure that
you can continue managing the stack.
ATTENTION:
When initializing the stack, note that network loops occur
if you have set up resilient links. Before initializing the stack, ensure you
have disconnected the cabling for all standby links.
The stack takes about 10 seconds to initialize. While the stack is
initializing, the Web browser cannot communicate with the stack.
