Nortel 460-24T PWR, how to make it just into a non addressed switch?

Hello everyone, I've got a Nortel 460-24T PWR switch. Right now it is addressed as:

172.16.34.1 with a subnet of 255.255.240.0 and a GW of: 172.16.32.150

I want to unaddress this switch and just use it as a basic switch, that will get its address from a WAN wire plugged into it and then will also give out WAN addreses.

Right now I have a very simple consumer brand 3Com that is our Public address switch. It gets our feed coming in and also anything that we want to have a publicly routable address also gets plugged into one of the ports. I want to do this with my Nortel, how do I do this?

thanks.

Reset the switch back to factory defaults. At the Command Line Interface, type:

boot default

Then you may wish to set the ports for fast spanning tree and stop the switch from trying to acquire an address via bootp:

config terminal ip bootp server disable interface FastEthernet ALL spanning-tree learning fast exit copy conf nvram
