When we contend “start-up configuration” we suspect we meant to set it to bureau default settings (when there’s no law pattern on a ports). Switches should work identical to routers where this can be finished from a console pier (try seeking for it in a back) as well as in CLI.
1. Set up a tie from switch to mechanism by a console pier (hyper depot on Windows XP should be used – default settings should be used)
2. The switch should be incited on, if we get messages from a switch, afterwards all is working. If it asks any approbation or no questions, they should be easy sufficient to answer.
3. Hit a come in pass when prompted. Type ‘enable’ (without quotes) afterwards sort ‘write erase’. It will substantially ask either or not it should do this, so answer approbation or no.
4. After it has successfully finished this, sort ‘reload’. (If it didn’t assimilate what we typed, come in ‘enable’ again. Answer a approbation or no questions as well as we should have your switch behind to a bureau default settings.
You competence wish to spin a switch off as well as on again as well as sort ‘enable’, ‘config t’, afterwards ’sh int’ to check if all interfaces have been set behind to comprehensive nothing.
Also, sadly we do not have a Cisco switch in front of me to have certain this functions (obviously given we can’t recollect a questions is asks you), though during slightest I’m quick.
