Installing the Module

6. Reset the Switch (if necessary)

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 Gigabit Stacking Module in a slot

that was previously used for a Gigabit-LX 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 correctly. The Module Status LED on the front

of the Switch 2424M will continue to flash, and all the LEDs on the module

will stay on continuously.

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.)

For diagnostic purposes. See "Troubleshooting" on page 13 for more

information.

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

changing most of the switch configuration parameters

You can reset the switch by any of these methods:

pressing the Reset button on the front of the switch

power cycling the switch

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

interface, or HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches
