Can't reset switch to factory defaults
Hello, I've tried the paperclip that usually works for my other switches. Tried 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 8 seconds, 15 seconds, 25 seconds over and over - still doesn't reset. I hooked up a usb...
For anyone wondering - I found the solution!!!
Thanks! - I got there but was unable to reset it - it kept asking for the admin username and password and blank as the PW did not work. I ended up at the point of just being stuck at the M4300R2 prompt as I must have cleared the entire config.
I've set up a tftp on my PC
I have the firmware file loaded as far as I can tell -- not sure the next step
I think I'm really close after watching it load up that file from the tftp server. I select reset thinking a reboot is the solution but it isn't. I think there is a command I need afterwards to make it active otherwise I just get this.
