In Case of Difficulty

If you experience difficulty, help is available in this section and on Cisco.com. This section includes initial setup troubleshooting, how to reset the switch, how to access help online, and where to find more information.

Troubleshooting Initial Configuration Setup

If you have problems running the initial configuration dialog:

Did you verify that POST successfully ran before running the initial configuration dialog?

Did you wait 30 seconds after connecting the switch and the PC before entering the IP address in your browser?

Did you lock yourself out and forget your password?

POST errors are usually fatal. Call Cisco Customer Support immediately if your switch fails POST.

If not, wait 30 seconds, re-enter 10.0.0.1 in the browser, and press Enter.

See the “Recovering from a Lost or Forgotten Password” section in the Troubleshooting appendix of the software configuration guide if you forget your password.

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.
