Restart / Reset

To display the Restart / Reset window, choose Configure > Restart / Reset.

The Restart / Reset window provides these options to either

  Restart the Switch: This option restarts the switch without turning off power. The switch retains its saved configuration settings during the restart process; however, the device manager is unavailable during the process. When the process completes, the switch redisplays the device manager.

  Reset the Switch to Factory Defaults: This option resets the switch to its factory default settings and then restarts the switch.

Note: Resetting the switch to its factory defaults deletes all customized switch settings, including the IP address. You will need to reconfigure the basic switch settings (as described in the switch getting started guide) and use the new IP address to re-launch the device manager.

After making your choice, click Submit.
