52 Section I: Basic Operations
Returning the AT-S63 Management Software to the Factory Default
Values
The procedure in this section returns all AT-S63 management software
parameters to their default values. Please note the following before you
perform this procedure:
ˆ Returning all parameter settings to their default values also deletes
any port-based or tagged VLANs you created on the switch.
ˆ This procedure does not delete files from the AT-S63 file system. To
delete files, refer to Chapter 11, “File System,” in the AT-S63
Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide.
ˆ This procedure does not delete any encryption keys stored in the key
database. To delete encryption keys, refer to “Deleting a Key,” in
Chapter 33, “Encryption Keys,” in the AT-S63 Management Software
Menus Interface User’s Guide.
ˆ If you manually assigned the unit an IP address and subnet mask, they
are deleted.
ˆ DHCP and BOOTP are disabled.
ˆ Returning a switch to its default values does not alter the contents of
the active boot configuration file. To reset the file back to the default
settings, you must select Save Config from the menu after the switch
reboots and you reestablish your management session. Otherwise, the
switch reverts back to the previous configuration the next time you
reset or power cycle the unit.
ˆ The speed of the Terminal Port on the switch is not changed.
Please note the following when performing this procedure on a master
switch of an enhanced stack:
ˆ You will not be able to reestablish your web browser management
session on the unit at the completion of this procedure because the
unit will not have an IP address and its stacking status will be slave,
the default setting. Unless there is another master switch in the same
subnet, you must use a local management session if you want to
continue managing the switch at the completion of this procedure.
ˆ The management VLAN setting is returned to Default_VLAN.
Caution
This procedure involves a switch reset. Some network traffic may be
lost while the unit initializes its management software and loads the
default configuration settings, a process that takes approximately 20
seconds to complete.
