4.4 Switch Lockout

You could lock yourself (and all others) out from the switch by:

1Deleting the management VLAN (default is VLAN 1).

2Deleting all port-based VLANs with the CPU port as a member. The “CPU port” is the management port of the switch.

3Filtering all traffic to the CPU port.

4Disabling all ports.

5Assigning minimum bandwidth to the CPU port. If you limit bandwidth to the CPU port, you may find that the switch performs sluggishly or not at all.

Note: Be careful not to lock yourself and others out of the switch.

4.5 Resetting the Switch

If you lock yourself (and others) from the switch or forget the switch password, you will need to reload the factory-default configuration file or reset the switch back to the factory defaults.
