Check that the SNMP Network Manager's IP address and community string are 
correctly configured, and that the IP address of the Trap Receiver is configured properly 
on the switch.

Check that Telnet access or SNMP access is enabled.

Check that the port through which you are trying to access the device has not been 
disabled. If it is enabled, check the connections and network cabling at the port. 

Check that the port through which you are trying to access the device is in a correctly 
configured VLAN.

Try accessing the device through a different port. If you can now access the device, a 
problem with the original port is indicated. Re-examine the connections and cabling.

A network problem may be preventing you accessing the device over the network. Try 
accessing the device through the console port.

Check that the community strings configured for the switch and the Network Manager 
are the same.

Check that SNMP access was not disabled for the switch.

If you have made a permanent entry in the FDB (which requires you to specify the 
VLAN to which it belongs and then delete the VLAN) the FDB entry will remain. 
Though causing no harm, you must manually delete the entry from the FDB if you 
want to remove it.

If you have defined static or default routes, those routes will remain in the 
configuration independent of whether the VLAN and VLAN IP address that used them 
remains. You should manually delete the routes if no VLAN IP address is capable of 
using them.
