This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
The procedure to reset the switch is as follows:
erase startup-config
delete flash:vlan.dat
reload (do NOT save config if prompted)
two commands:
write erase
reload
write erase
reload
"write erase" will not clear the vlan database. When the switch comes back up, it will still have the vlan list and any VTP information.
you are correct sir, make that 3 commands :
delete flash:vlan.dat
write erase
reload
delete flash:vlan.dat
write erase
reload
