4.4 Switch Lockout

Note: You cannot log into the switch using the same administrator account concurrently on different IP routing domains.

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

1Deleting all IP routing domains.

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.

5Misconfiguring the text configuration file.

6Forgetting the password and/or IP address.

7Preventing all services from accessing the switch.

8Changing a service port number but forgetting it.

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 administrator password, you will need to reload the factory-default configuration file or reset the switch back to the factory defaults.
