Using the Web Console

Restart

1.To restart the switch, in the left panel click Reboot.

2.Click Yes to save the current switch configuration to non-volatile RAM (flash RAM), or No if you want to restart the switch using the last-saved (previous) configuration.

3.Click Restart.

Factory Reset

The Factory Reset option is used to restart the switch using only the configuration that was supplied by the factory. A factory reset returns all configuration options to their default values and restores the switch's configuration to the factory settings.

All user-entered configuration information is lost.

To reset the switch to factory default values

1.In the left panel, click Factory Reset.

2.Click Yes if you want the switch to retain its current IP address, or No to reset the switch's IP address to the factory default of 10.90.90.90.

3.Click Reboot.
