How to Reset the Switch
The Reset button located on the rear panel of the switch can be used to restart the
device and set the configuration back to either the currently saved configuration or
the factory default settings.
Reset to the Saved
Configuration File
Press the Reset button for less than 5 seconds to restart the system software using
the current saved configuration file settings. Any unsaved changes in the curerntly
running configuration will be lost and the only the saved settings in the startup
configuration file will be used when the switch reboots.
Reset to Factory
Default Settings
Press the Reset button for more than 5 seconds to restart the system software using
the factory default settings. Any unsaved changes in the currently running
configuration will be lost. The saved startup configuration file will still be available
to select within the switch user interface, if needed.

Pressing the reset button will lose any unsaved changes in the running
switch configuration.
