Reset the switch to its factory default
settings
You can return the switch configuration to the factory default settings. All changes that you
made are lost. If the IP address changes, your web session might disconnect.
IMPORTANT:
If you previously added the switch to an Insight network location, the
factory default settings function of the local browser UI can operate
only after you use the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight Cloud portal to
remove the switch from your Insight network location.
If you do not remove the switch from the Insight network location, after you return the switch
to factory default settings, the switch reconnects to the Insight cloud and all
Insight-manageable device settings are returned to the last configuration saved on the cloud
server, including the switch password (that is, the password is reset to the Insight network
password).
If the switch is not (or no longer) part of an Insight network location, after you return the
switch to factory default settings, the following occurs:
• The IP address is reset to 192.168.0.239.
• The DHCP client is enabled.
• The local device password is password.
• The default management mode is reset to NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight
Cloud Portal.
Whether or not you added the switch to an Insight network location, the following applies:
If you changed the power adapter, after you return the switch to factory default settings, you
must use the local browser UI to select the power adapter that you connected to the switch
(see
Activate the new PoE budget for an optional or replacement power adapter on
page 403).
For information about reconnecting to the switch, see Access the switch on page 14.
For information about changing the management mode, see Change the management
mode of the switch on page 32.
