Factory-Default Mode (Mode A)
When reloaded in factory-default mode, the switch boots up with the factory-default
settings (FTOS image and startup configuration file in the local flash) applied to the
system. The management port is configured with the temporary static IP address
192.168.0.1.You can connect to the management port with an IP address on the same
network, and log in to the system through a telnet or SSH session.
You can replace the temporary management IP address with a user-configured
management IP address. The IP address 192.168.0.1 is active for ten minutes. After
ten minutes, a user-configured IP address is applied to the management interface.
To configure a switch to reload using auto-configuration mode A, enter the reload
factory-default command.
