Resetting Configuration

This chapter outlines the process for resetting the configuration on an **Alteon Application Switch 5208**. There are different methods for resetting the configuration, including clearing all settings, restoring factory defaults, or performing a soft reset.

Soft Reset (Reboot)

A soft reset allows the switch to reboot without clearing the configuration. It can be used when you need to refresh the system without losing any saved settings.

/reset

Description: This command will reboot the system, retaining all current configurations.

Example:

/reset

After Reboot

Once the switch reboots, you can verify the status with the following command:

/cfg/system/show status

This will display the current state of the system and confirm that the reboot was successful.

Hard Reset (Factory Defaults)

A **hard reset** restores the switch to its factory default settings. This means that all configurations will be lost, and the switch will revert to the default IP address, hostname, and settings.

To perform a factory reset, follow these steps:

1. Connect to the switch via the **console port** using a terminal client like PuTTY or HyperTerminal. 2. Power off the switch. 3. Press and hold the **reset button** on the front panel of the switch. 4. Power the switch on while still holding the reset button for about **10-15 seconds**. 5. Release the reset button. The switch will now boot up with factory default settings.

Alternatively, the following command can be used to perform a hard reset via the CLI:

/cfg/system/reset-factory

Description: This command will erase all configurations and reset the switch to its factory defaults.

Example:

/cfg/system/reset-factory

After this process, the switch will require reconfiguration from scratch, including setting the management IP, hostname, and network settings.

Verify Reset to Factory Defaults

To confirm that the switch has been reset to factory defaults, you can check the configuration:

/cfg/system/show running-config

This should show minimal or default configurations such as the default IP address `192.168.1.1`, default hostname, and other initial settings.

Resetting Specific Configuration Elements

In some cases, you might only need to reset certain elements, such as VLAN configurations or interfaces, rather than the entire system.

Reset VLAN Configuration

To remove a specific VLAN configuration, use the following command:

/cfg/network/vlan <vlan_id>/reset

Example:

/cfg/network/vlan 100/reset

This command will reset the specified VLAN to its default settings.

Reset Interface Configuration

To reset an individual interface configuration, use the following command:

/cfg/network/port <port_number>/reset

Example:

/cfg/network/port 5/reset

This will reset the settings for that particular interface, including IP addresses, VLAN assignments, and other configurations.

Clearing the Configuration from the Flash Memory

If you want to delete the current configuration completely from the switch's flash memory, use the following command:

/cfg/system/clear-flash

Description: This command will completely clear the configuration stored in the flash memory, requiring a reboot to apply the changes.

Example:

/cfg/system/clear-flash

Once the configuration is cleared, the system will boot with the default configuration.

Important Notes

  • **Backup Configurations**: Before performing any reset actions, it is crucial to back up your current configuration to avoid losing important settings. Use the following command to back up to a TFTP server:
/cfg/system/backup tftp <tftp_ip> <backup_filename>
  • **Reconfiguration**: After performing a hard reset, you will need to reconfigure the switch from scratch. This includes setting up VLANs, IP addresses, HA groups, and other configurations.
