Olicom 8600, 8605 manual Reset Port Address Table, Clear Non-Volatile RAM, Power-On Diagnostics

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 Non-Volatile RAM

Selecting this command will erase all user-configured parameters (rate, IP address information, CrossLink, Virtual Token-Ring Switch, STP) 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— before clearing 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.

Power-On Diagnostics

This is a selectable option that determines whether diagnostics are, or are not, initiated during a switch power-on sequence. To change the selection, highlight the item and press ENTER; then select Enabled or Disabled, and press ENTER.

Default: Enabled
