Workaround: If you do not wish to restore Syslog information along with Network Properties, perform changes manually using QuickTools or the CLI. • Issue: When the Configuration Wizard dialog is chosen to change the IP address of the switch and the change is applied, it appears to the user that the change is made successfully. However, connection to the switch using the new IP address will fail because the address was not actually changed. Other Configuration Wizard changes such as the admin password are applied correctly. Workaround: Reconnect to the switch using the old IP address (and new admin password if necessary) and select the Switch -> Network Properties dialog to make the IP address change.
