Restart or Reset the Switch
If you cannot solve an issue by reconfiguring a feature, either restarting or
resetting the switch might solve the issue or help you to eliminate probable causes.
If the issue exists after you reset the switch to its default settings, it is unlikely that
the switch is causing the issue.
Option Description
Restart This option restarts the switch without turning off power. The switch retains its saved configuration settings during the
restart process. However, the Device Manager Web interface is unavailable during the process. When the process completes,

the factory default settings. The same software image is retained. You need to reconfigure the basic switch settings. Refer
