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 5-11 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-114.
2. Place the switch in maintenance mode. Press and hold the Maintenance
button for 2–4 seconds. Refer to “Recovering a Switch” on page 5-11 for
more information about placing the switch in maintenance mode.
3. Establish a Telnet session with the switch using the default IP address

Password:xxxx
