Please log in for more thread options Hi I have an old 3512XL switch, when powered on the system light goes amber, all the ports go green except for port 1 which stays amber and I only get one glyph character outputted to the console session when it powers on. Is there a way to do a hardware reset of this switch or is it completely coastered? I know its old but I want to use it for some lab stuff if I can get it working. Flamer | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Turning the switch off and on is a hardware reset. Try booting it up in ROMMON mode. I think on this particular switch, if you hold the front push button in (it's on left) while powering it on, it will boot into ROMMON. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Its failing on some very low-level basic power-on-self-check with bad hardware, those things will even keep working when the PHY's blow after a lightning strike. The switches do their best to go on, but say, if it doesn't have working DRAM, its not going to go anywhere, not much you can do short of start swapping out DRAM chips out on the board to hunt down its hardware major problem. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps607/products_tech_note09186a0080125913.shtml | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

I had a lot of trouble trying to pry them off the board, think I will just chuck this one in the dumpster as it doesnt show any sign of life. Flamer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
