from your laptop or workstation to any port on the switch. After connecting the Ethernet cable try to
ping the switch IP address 192.168.1.2 from your laptop or workstation. If ping is successful, then
you have Ethernet connection to the switch.

Uncompressing ...Done. If you delay in pressing the keys, it will start loading the old configuration.
If you miss it, power cycle the switch again, and follow the process again. If you see the message

login to switch using the factory default login: manager, and password: manager. You have
gained access to the switch, but the switch still is running old configuration, with the old

Login to the switch console using default username: manager, and password: manager, and
type kill config and reboot command at the console prompt.
It will ask for the confirmation to erase the configuration. Type "Y", and the switch will delete the
configuration. The configuration is still in the memory. Reboot the switch to clear the configuration.
Type the Reboot command at the switch console, Type "Y" to Proceed on rebooting the switch,
and "N" to Do you wish to save the configuration. If you select "y" for the later one, it will save the
configuration from memory to the flash, and it will boot up with the old configuration, which you
won't be able to login, as you don't know the username and password set in the old configuration.
You can start configuring the switch again.
