2 seconds

To recreate the configuration file, do the following:

CAUTION! Recreating the configuration file will delete all switch configuration settings.

1.Open a Telnet session and use the Shutdown command to close activity on the switch, then power down the switch. Refer to the ”Shutdown Command” on page B-81.

2.Place the switch in maintenance mode. Press and hold the Maintenance button for 2–4 seconds. Refer to ”Recovering a Switch” on page 5-12for more information about placing the switch in maintenance mode.

3.Establish a Telnet session with the switch using the default IP address 10.0.0.1.

telnet 10.0.0.1

4.Enter the account name (prom) and password (prom), and press the Enter key.

Sanbox2 login: prom Password:xxxx [username@host:Itasca]% telnet 10.0.0.1 Trying 10.0.0.1...
