Resetting the Switch

Resetting the Switch

Generally, you only need to reset the switch when it needs to recognize a

change in its hardware or software (console) configuration. Some

circumstances in which you will need to reset the switch are:

Installing a module in a slot that was previously occupied by a different

type of module—for example, installing a 100/1000-T GL Module in a slot

that was previously used for a 10/100-TX GL Module—the switch must be

reset after the new module is installed so the switch processor can

properly initialize and configure the new module type.

When a module is exchanged for a different type, until the switch is reset

the module will not operate, the Module Status LED for the slot will

continue to flash, and all the LEDs on the module will stay on continu-

ously.

Changing certain switch configuration parameters through the console

interface. (In this case, the console provides indications when the switch

must be reset for the configuration change to be activated.)

You do not need to reset the switch when:

Installing a module in a previously unused slot.

Replacing a module with the same type of module.

You can reset the switch by any of these methods:

pressing the Reset button on the front of the switch

power cycling the switch

issuing the reboot system command from the switch console CLI, or

selecting the Reset or Reboot option from the switch console menu, web

browser interface, or HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches
