To restart the switch at any time with no configuration, enter the command:

RESTART SWITCH CONFIG=NONE

If 

boot.cfg

 has changed, to set it back to the default configuration by saving 

the default dynamic configuration to the 

boot.cfg

 file, enter the command:

CREATE CONFIG=boot.cfg

To set the switch to restart with the boot configuration file, enter the command:

SET CONFIG=boot.cfg

If an aspect of the router’s configuration dependent on access to a server 
functions incorrectly, PINGing the server from the switch, and the switch from 
the server, is a useful first step in diagnosis.

You can use PING (Packet Internet Groper) to check whether there is a 
connection between the switch and another routing interface in the network. 
Use the router’s extended PING command over IPv4, IPv6, IPX and AppleTalk 
network protocols. PING sends echo request packets in the chosen format, and 
displays responses at the terminal. Enter the command:

PING [{[IPADDRESS=]ipadd|[IPXADDRESS=]network:station| 

[APPLEADDRESS=]network.node}] [LENGTH=number] 

[NUMBER={number|CONTINUOUS}] [PATTERN=hexnum] 

[{SIPADDRESS=ipadd|SIPXADDRESS=network:station|

SAPPLEADDRESS=network.node}] [SCREENOUTPUT={YES|NO}] 

[TIMEOUT=number] [TOS=number]

To set PING defaults, enter the command:

SET PING [{[IPADDRESS=]ipadd|[IPXADDRESS=]network:station| 

[APPLEADDRESS=]network.node}] [LENGTH=number] 

[NUMBER={number|CONTINUOUS}] [PATTERN=hexnum] 

[{SIPADDRESS=ipadd|SIPXADDRESS=network:station|SAPPLEADDR

ESS=network.node}] [SCREENOUTPUT={YES|NO}] 

[TIMEOUT=number] [TOS=number]

To display the default PING settings and summary information, enter the 
command:

SHOW PING

The stop a PING that is in progress, enter the command:

STOP PING

If you can PING the end destination, then the physical and layer 2 links are 
functioning, and any difficulties are in the network or higher layers.
