Recovering a Switch Module
Maintenance – Reset Network Config
This option resets the network properties to the factory default values and
saves them on the switch. Refer to the Reset command in the McDATA 4416
Command Line Interface Guide for the default network configuration values.
Maintenance – Reset User Accounts to Default
This option restores the password for the Admin account name to the default
(password) and removes all other user accounts from the switch.
Maintenance – Copy Log Files
This option copies all log file buffers to a file on the switch named logfile. You
can use FTP to download this file to the management workstation. You must
download the logfile before resetting the switch.
Maintenance – Remove Switch Config
This option deletes all configurations from the switch except the default
configuration. This restores switch configuration parameters to the factory
defaults. Refer to Reset command in the McDATA 4416 Command Line Interface
Guide for factory default values.
Maintenance – Remake Filesystem
In the event of a loss of power, the switch configuration may become corrupt.
The file system on which the configuration is stored must be re-created. This
option resets the switch to the factory default values including user accounts
and zoning. Refer to the Reset command in the McDATA 4416 Command Line
Interface Guide for the factory default values.
CAUTION
If you choose the Remake Filesystem option, you will lose all changes
made to the fabric configuration that involve that switch, such as password
and zoning changes. You must then restore the switch from an archived
configuration or reconfigure the portions of the fabric that involve the
switch.
Maintenance – Reset Switch
This option closes the Telnet session, exits maintenance mode and reboots the
switch using the current switch configuration. All unpacked firmware image
files that reside on the switch are deleted.
Maintenance – Update Boot Loader
This option updates the system boot loader which loads the Linux kernel into
memory. Use this option only at the direction of your authorized maintenance
provider.
