I'm looking for hidden gems...
If you were given a switch, say... a Cat 2950, and you wanted to get it back to virgin with the least amount of effort, how would you do it?

There are only 10 kinds of people... those who understand binary, and those that don't.

how about this: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps607/products_tech_note09186a00800c4546.shtmlI usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.

Yep, doesn't get any easier than "clear config all", does it!?!?!
What would you do if you didn't know the enable password, though?There are only 10 kinds of people... those who understand binary, and those that don't.

Yup that ought to do it!
How about this for the password issue? http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1453/cisco_2950_switch_password_recovery
I could have posted the Cisco link but this one is extrapolated from it and gets right to the point.
easy peasy! I usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.

don't forget to erase the vlan database.
erase vlan.dat
Otherwise you'll still have all your VLANs after you reboot.The only easy day was yesterday! -

That is included in the first Cisco link that I sent you......I usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.

My high school ag class did this for a lady one time. It involved a cowboy boot and a razor blade. Poor cat was never the same.
