load the image file using FTP. Close the FTP session.

the switch.

Resetting the network configuration in maintenance mode (option 2)
The Reset Network Config option resets the network properties to the factory default values and saves them
on the switch.
Restoring factory user accounts in maintenance mode (option 3)
The Reset User Accounts to Default option restores the password for the admin account name to the default
(password) and removes all other user accounts from the switch.
Copying log files in maintenance mode (option 4)
The Copy Log Files option copies all log file buffers to a file on the switch named logfile. You can use
FTP to download this file to the management workstation. You must download logfile before resetting
the switch.

The Remove Switch Config option deletes all configurations from the switch except the default
configuration. This restores switch configuration parameters to the factory defaults except for user accounts
