2.12 Reset System
This switch can be rebooted or reset to default configuration.
To reset the system, go to the Reset menu and open the following configuration page:
This page provides two options:
Ø Reboot Only – Reboot the system. All configuration settings will be retained to the latest
changes before the reboot procedure. If you want to keep your configuration, select this option.
Ø Reboot after Write Default – Reset all configurations (including the username, password and
IP address; only the MAC address will not be changed) to default settings before rebooting the
system. All customized settings will be lost and unless manually reentered, will not be
recoverable.
The GSS-8T2SFP also provides two alternatives to perform a Reboot after Write Default option by
using the Reset button on the front panel of the switch:
Ø While the system is running (the DIAG LED indicator is ON), pressing and holding the Reset
button (for greater than 2 seconds) until the DIAG LED indicator begins to flash will activate
the Write Default procedure.
Ø If the system will not boot up (the DIAG LED indicator is still OFF after 7 seconds from power
on), pressing and holding the Reset button while turning the power on to the system until the
DIAG LED indicator starts to flash will activate the Write Default procedure.
After the procedure mentioned above is done, the switch will reboot and initialize using the default
settings.
Note: system rebooting time is approximately 5 seconds.
You will need to log back in to the system to continue configuring the switch.
