Recovering from a Failed Start on the S6000
A switch that does not start correctly might be trying to boot from a corrupted Dell Networking OS image or from a mis-
specified location.
In this case, you can restart the system and interrupt the boot process to point the system to another boot location.
1. Power-cycle the chassis (pull the power cord and reinsert it).
2. During bootup, press the ESC key when this message appears: Press Esc to stop autoboot...
You enter Boot-Line Interface (BLI) mode at the BOOT_USER# prompt.
3. At the BLI prompt, set the system parameter to ignore the enable password and reload the system:
BOOT_USER mode
BOOT_USER# boot change primary
You are prompted to enter a valid boot device (for example, ftp o r tftp or flash) and a path or filename for the Dell
Networking OS image that you want to use.
4. (Optional) Set the secondary and default boot locations by entering the following commands:
BOOT_USER mode
BOOT_USER# boot change secondary
BOOT_USER# boot change default
5. Reboot the chassis.
BOOT_USER mode
reload
Restoring the Factory Default Settings
Restoring the factory-default settings deletes the existing NVRAM settings, startup configuration, and all configured settings
such as, stacking or fanout.
To restore the factory default settings, use the restore factory-defaults stack-unit {stack—unit—number |
all} {clear-all | nvram | bootvar} command in EXEC Privilege mode.
CAUTION: There is no undo for this command.
Important Points to Remember
● When you restore all the units in a stack, these units are placed in standalone mode.
● When you restore a single unit in a stack, only that unit is placed in standalone mode. No other units in the stack are
affected.
● When you restore the units in standalone mode, the units remain in standalone mode after the restoration.
● After the restore is complete, the units power cycle immediately.
The following example illustrates the restore factory-defaults command to restore the factory default settings.
DellEMC#restore factory-defaults stack-unit 0 nvram
***********************************************************************
* Warning - Restoring factory defaults will delete the existing *
* persistent settings (stacking, fanout, etc.) *
* After restoration the unit(s) will be powercycled immediately. *
