Resetting the Catalyst 3900

Resetting the Catalyst 3900

To reset the switch and run the power-on diagnostics, select Reset on the Main Menu. The Reset panel (Figure 9-1) is displayed.


Figure 9-1: Reset Panel

The following information is displayed on this panel:

To Select Then

Reset the Catalyst 3900, clear all counters, including address tables, and run diagnostic tests

Reset Switch With Diagnostics

If the switch is part of a stack, you are prompted specify whether you want to reset a single switch or the entire stack. You are then prompted to confirm the reset and press any key to initiate the reset. This action does not clear any user-configured parameters. When the Catalyst 3900 restarts, parameters from NVRAM are used to initiate the operational parameters.

Reset the Catalyst 3900 and clear all counters including address tables without running diagnostic tests

Reset Switch Without Diagnostics

If the switch is part of a stack, you are prompted specify whether you want to reset a single switch or the entire stack. You are then prompted to confirm the reset and press any key to initiate the reset. This action does not clear any user-configured parameters. When the Catalyst 3900 restarts, parameters from NVRAM are used to initiate the operational parameters.

Clear all table entries for a selected port or all ports, set all port traffic counter to 0, and set time since last reset to 0

Reset Port Address Table

Delete all user-configured parameters, such as IP address and baud rate information, and reset the Catalyst 3900

Clear Non-Volatile RAM


Note Clearing NVRAM erases all configuration parameters. If you are using the TokenChannel feature, be sure to disconnect the affected ports or disable them on the corresponding switch before clearing NVRAM. If you are using the spanning-tree option, it will be turned off and port costs and priorities will be lost, which can result in loops. Use the menus to reestablish port costs and priorities. If you are using an SNMP manager, you will need to reconfigure all IP and SNMP parameters.

If the Catalyst 3900 is connected to a terminal via the EIA 232 port, the diagnostic messages (similar to those in Figure 9-2) should appear after you reset the Catalyst 3900 with diagnostics. An abbreviated version of these messages will appear if you reset the Catalyst 3900 without diagnostics.
