Resetting the Stack
Resetting the stack simulates powering off and powering on the
stack. You may want to do this if you want to reset the stack’s
statistics counters.
CAUTION: Performing a reset may cause some of the data being
transmitted over the network to be lost.
To reset the stack:
1 At the top-level menu, enter:
system reset
2 The command line interface asks you to confirm the reset. Enter
y
if
you wish to proceed, or
n
if you want to stop the reset.
During a reset, you are unable to communicate with the stack. After
the reset, press Return twice to restore communication (if required).
The reset process takes about 10 seconds.
Initializing the Stack
Initializing the stack causes it to return to its factory default settings,
and the stack is reset. You may want to do this if the stack has been
previously used in a different part of your network, and its settings
are incorrect for its new environment.
CAUTION: Initializing the stack removes all configuration
information including resilient links and passwords (you will need to
use the default password to re-access the stack). However, IP, SLIP
and default router information is retained to ensure you can continue
management communication with the stack over the network. If you
have any resilient links set up for the stack, you may experience
network loops after the initialize.
