CAUTION:
Use Initialize with great care. The Switch 1005 configuration

user information is lost and only default users are available. All ports are
set to their default values, and are therefore enabled and available to all
users. When initializing the Switch, take particular note of the following:
■
Network loops will occur if you have set up resilient links. Before initializing
the Switch, ensure you have disconnected the cabling for all your standby
links.
