Returning the AT-S62 Software to the Factory Default Values
There are two procedures for returning the settings on a switch to the
factory default values. The first returns the switch’s settings to the
default values, but retains all files in the switch’s file system (i.e.,
configuration files, SSL certificates, event logs, etc). The second method
deletes all the files in the file system, including all configuration files. The
AT-S62 software default values can be found in Appendix A, AT-S62
Default Settings on page 715.
Retaining the
System Files
This procedure returns all operating parameters on the switch back to
their default values, but retains the files in the file system. Please note
the following before performing this procedure:
❑ A switch’s IP address and subnet mask, if assigned, are deleted.
❑ All port-based and tagged VLANs are deleted.
❑ All files in the AT-S62 file system are retained.
❑ All encryption keys stored in the key database are retained.
❑ The contents of the active boot configuration file is retained. To
reset the file back to the default settings, you need to reestablish
your management session after the switch reboots at the
complemtion of this procedure and select Save Configuration
Changes. Otherwise, the switch will revert back to the previous
configuration the next time you reset the unit.
Caution
This procedure results in a switch reset. The switch will not forward
traffic while it initializes its operating software, a process that takes
approximately 20 seconds to complete. Some network traffic may
be lost.
To return the AT-S62 software to the default settings while retaining the
files in the file system, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.
The System Administration menu is shown in Figure 7 on page 55.
2. From the System Administration menu, type 9 to select System
Utilities.
The System Utilities menu is shown in Figure 9 on page 61.
3. For the System Utilities menu, type 4 to select Reset to Factory
Defaults.
