Configuration File System Error Blink Pattern
A configuration file system error blink pattern is 4 blinks followed by a two second
pause. The 4-blink error pattern indicates that a configuration file system error has
occurred, and that the configuration file must be recreated. Refer to ”Recovering a
Switch” on page 5-13 for more information.
To recreate the configuration file, do the following:
1. Open a Telnet session and use the Shutdown command to close activity on
the switch, then power down the switch. Refer to the ”Shutdown Command”
on page B-77.
2. Place the switch in maintenance mode. Press and hold the Maintenance
button, then power up the switch. Refer to ”Recovering a Switch” on
page 5-13 for more information about placing the switch in maintenance
mode.
3. Establish a Telnet session with the switch using the default IP address
10.0.0.1.
telnet 10.0.0.1
4. Enter the account name (prom) and password (prom), and press the Enter
key.

Trying 10.0.0.1...

Escape character is '^]'.
CAUTION! Recreating the configuration file will delete all switch configuration
settings.
