4 Laptop USB
Console Port
This mini-USB port allows a laptop to be connected for local
access and control. See Laptop USB Console Login, page 48
for further details.
5 USB Ports A USB keyboard and mouse can plug in here. This can either
be in place of, or in addition to, plugging a keyboard and mouse
into the ports on the rear panel. This port can also be used to
connect USB storage peripherals (CD/DVD, HD, flash drives,
etc.) on the V series switches.
6Reset SwitchNote: This switch is recessed and must be pushed with a small
object such as the end of a paper clip, or a ballpoint pen.
Pressing and releasing this switch when the unit is running
performs a system reset.
Pressing and holding this switch in for more than three
seconds when the unit is running resets its configuration to
the factory default settings.
Note: This does not clear User Account information. See Clear Login
Information, page 257, for information on clearing user
account information.
Pressing and holding this switch while powering on the
switch returns the unit to its factory default firmware level,
rather than the firmware version that the switch has been
upgraded to. This allows you to recover from a failed
firmware upgrade and gives you the opportunity to try
upgrading the firmware again.
Note: This operation should only be performed in the event of a
firmware upgrade failure that results in the device becoming
inoperable.
