Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switches Return the switch to its factory default settings Under some circumstances (for example, if you lost track of the changes that you made to the switch settings or you move the switch to a different network), you might want to erase the configuration and reset the switch to factory default settings. To reset the switch to factory default settings, you can either use the RESET button on the front of the switch or use the reset function in the device UI. However, if you changed and lost the password and cannot access the switch, you must use the RESET button. After you reset the switch to factory default settings, the password is password and the switch's DHCP client is enabled. For more information, see Factory default settings on page 90. Use the RESET button to reset the switch You can use the RESET button to return the switch to its factory default settings. CAUTION: This process erases all settings that you configured on the switch. To reset the switch to factory default settings: 1. On the front of the switch, locate the recessed RESET button. 2. Using a straightened paper clip, press and hold the RESET button for more than 10 seconds or until all port LEDs start blinking red. 3. Release the RESET button. All port LEDs blink red five times and the configuration is reset to factory default settings. When the reset is complete, the switch reboots. This process takes about one minute. WARNING: Do not interrupt the network connection or power to the switch during the reset process. Do not disconnect any Ethernet cables or power off the switch until the reset process and switch reboot are complete. Maintain and Monitor the Switch 72 User Manual
