To accomplish this:
Do this:
This will happen:
Soft reset
Press and release the Reset button
The switch operating system is
cleared gracefully (such as data
transfer completion, temporary error
conditions are cleared), then
reboots and runs self tests.
Hard reset
Press and hold the Reset button for
more than 5 seconds (until all LEDs
turn on), then release.
The switch reboots, similar to a
power cycle. A hard reset is used,
for example, when the switch CPU
is in an unknown state or not
responding.
Delete console and management
access passwords
Press Clear button for more than 5
seconds, but within 15 seconds (in
between 5 - 15 seconds)
Clears all passwords. Will flash
Global Status Green LED, after 5
seconds has expired to indicate
passwords have cleared.
Turn off UID LED
Press Clear button and release
within 5 seconds (in betwween 0.5 -
5 seconds)
Clears the UID LED.
Restore the factory default
configuration
1. Press Clear and Reset
simultaneously.
2. While continuing to press Clear,
release Reset.
3. When the Global Status LED
begins to fast flash orange (after
approximately 5 seconds), release
Clear.
The switch removes all
configuration changes, restores the
factory default configuration, and
runs self test.
These buttons are provided for your convenience. If you are concerned with switch security, make
sure that the switch is installed in a secure location, such as a locked wiring closet. You can also
disable these buttons by using the
front-panel-security
command. For a description of that
command, see the
2930M Management and Configuration Guide
