HP ProCurve Switch 2520 Series - Restoring the Factory Default
As part of the troubleshooting process on the switch, it may become necessary
to return the switch configuration to the factory default settings. Restoring to factory default : Interrupts the switch operation momentarily
Clears any passwords
Clears the console event log
Resets the network counters to zero
Performs a
complete self test
Reboots the switch into its factory default configuration
including deleting the IP address, if one is configured.
|
NOTE:
|
This process removes all switch configuration changes the user has made from
the factory default settings. This includes, for example, configuration of
VLANs, Spanning Tree, trunks, and stacking. Returning the configuration of
these features to their factory default settings (usually disabling them) may
result in network connectivity issues.If the switch has a valid configuration, and if the user is restoring the factory default
settings for a reason other than configuration problems, they should save the
switch configuration prior to performing the factory default reset. Then, after
the reset and resolution of the original problem, the user can restore the saved
configuration to the switch. For both the save and restore processes, they can
use the console copy
command. |
The user can restore the factory default configuration either on the switch itself,
or through the switch console.
To execute the factory default reset on the switch, perform these steps: Using pointed objects, simultaneously press both the Reset
and Clear
buttons on the front of the switch. The power and fault lights come on.
Continue to press the Clear
button while releasing the Reset
button.
When the Self Test
LED begins to blink, release the Clear
button.
The switch will then complete its self test and begin operating with its
configuration restored to the factory default settings.
To restore the factory default configuration using the console, execute the
erase startup-config
command from the console
command prompt.
