Finding the Switch Serial Number

Note

This procedure clears the IP address and all configuration information stored on the switch. Do not
follow this procedure unless you want to completely reconfigure the switch.

1.

Press and hold the Mode button (

Figure 1-1 on page 1-2

).

2.

The switch LEDs begin blinking after about 2 seconds. If the switch is not configured, the LEDs
above the Mode button turn green. You can omit the next step.

3.

Continue holding down the Mode button. The LEDs stop blinking after an additional 8 seconds, and
then the switch reboots.

The switch now behaves like an unconfigured switch. You can configure the switch by using Express
Setup as described in the switch getting started guide that is included with the switch.

You can also configure the switch by using the CLI setup procedure described in the

“Configuring the

Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program”

appendix.

Finding the Switch Serial Number
