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

3Incorrectly configuring the access control settings. This could also lock you out from performing out-of-band management (managing through the console port or management 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.

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

4.5Resetting the Switch

If you lock yourself (and others) out of the switch, you can try using out-of-band management. If you still cannot correct the situation or forgot the password, you will need to reload the factory-default configuration file.

4.5.1 Reload the Configuration File

Uploading the factory-default configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all previous configurations and the speed of the console port will be reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit and flow control set to none. The password will also be reset to “1234” and the IP address to 192.168.1.1.

To upload the configuration file, do the following:

1Connect to the console port using a computer with terminal emulation software. See Section 3.1.4 on page 39 for details.

2Disconnect and reconnect the switch’s power to begin a session. When you reconnect the switch’s power, you will see the initial screen.

3When you see the message “Press any key to enter Debug Mode within 3 seconds ...” press any key to enter debug mode.

4Type atlc after the “Enter Debug Mode” message.

5Wait for the “Starting XMODEM upload” message before activating XMODEM upload on your terminal.

6After a configuration file upload, type atgo to restart the switch.
