112 Figure - Reset configuration
Turn offand on the unit and thenwait for about30 seconds until the"Complete" sign will uppear.
The unit will start in special emergency mode with the IP-address 10.10.10.1 and mask 255.255.255.0.
Login to the unit and use "Restore Factory Settings" button on the "Maintenance" page if you use Web GUI
or by command "configclear" by CLI to switch off emergency mode.
Set new login and password, then save the configuration and restart the unit.
8.7 Unicast-flood detection
Unicast-floodoccurs when the unicastframe'sdestination MAC-addressis unknown for the switch (not included in
its routingtable), it sends this frameto all interfaces of the network, besidesthe sender interface.The most
common reasons of unicast-flood are:
MACaddress table overflow(a common problem in large networks)
Hosts with ARP timerslongerthan the ARP cache time on switches
Incorrect STP settings
Incorrect switch groups settings (in particular, when theIDsof switch groups for the receiving and sending
traffic are different).
Theunicast-floodprocess on devicesis the following: if the frame's destination MAC-address is not included in
theunit'sMAC switch forwarding table, then this frame isflooded to allinterfacesbesides the sender interface.The
distribution occurs until the unit receives a frame with this MAC-address as the sender (i.e., the interface to which
the framewasdestinated to respond). After that, the device will learn: it willaddthis MAC address to theMAC
switch forwarding tableandmapit with the interface from which it was received. If the device does not learn in 4
seconds, and frames still arrive, then traffic to this direction will be blocked for 4 seconds. Then the process repeats.
This process has the following representation in the unit's interfaces and linksgraphs:

Also, unicast-flooding can be detected in the "Switch Statistics" "Device Status" tab in "Flood" column:
