Reset Port Address Table

Selecting this command clears all address table entries for a specified port (user is queried for which port to reset), sets port traffic counters to zero, and sets Time Since Last Reset for this port to zero.

Clear Nonvolatile RAM

Selecting this command will erase all user-configured parameters and reset the switch.

➽Note: Clearing NVRAM (non-volatile RAM) erases all configuration parameters. Follow these guidelines if you must clear NVRAM:

If you are using the CrossLink feature, be sure to disconnect the affected ports—or disable them on the Port Configuration screen and reset the switch—beforeclearing NVRAM.

If you are using the STP option, be aware that port costs and priorities will be lost, which may result in loops. Use the menus to reestablish port costs and priorities, then reset the switch to make the new parameters take effect.

If you are using an SNMP manager, you will need to reconfigure all IP and SNMP parameters.
