Troubleshooting Initial Configuration Setup

If you have problems running the initial configuration dialog:

Resetting the Switch Configuration

This section describes how to reset the switch configuration by rerunning the
initial configuration dialog (System Configuration Dialog). These are reasons
why you might want to reset the switch:
•You installed the switch in your network and cannot connect to it because you
assigned the wrong IP address.
•You want to clear all configuration from the switch and assign a new IP
address.
Caution Resetting the switch deletes the configuration and reboots the switch.
•Did you verify that POST successfully ran
before running the initial configuration
dialog?
POST errors are usually fatal. Call Cisco
Customer Support immediately if your switch fails
POST.
•Did you wait 30 seconds after connecting the
switch and the PC before entering the IP
address in your browser?
If not, wait 30 seconds, re-enter 10.0.0.1 in the
browser, and press Enter.
•Did you lock yourself out and forget your
password?
See the “Recovering from a Lost or Forgotten
Password” section in the Troubleshooting
appendix of the software configuration guide if
you forget your password.
