(1) disconnect the power of the switch, press and hold the Mode key on the front panel of the switch, and connect it to the power source. You will see the following prompt: Base ethernet MAC Address: 00: 18: ba: 11: f5: 00 Xmodem file system is available. the password-recovery mechanic is enabled. the system has been interrupted prior toinitializing the flash filesystem. the following commands will initialize theflash filesystem, and finish loading the operating system software: flash_initload_helperboot (2) input The flash_init command Initializi Ng Flash... flashfs [0]: 3 files, 1 directoriesflashfs [0]: 0 orphaned files, 0 orphaneddirectoriesflashfs [0]: Total bytes: 32514048 flashfs [0]: Bytes used: 6076928 flashfs [0]: Bytes available: 26437120 flashfs [0]: flashfs fsck took 12 seconds .... done Initializing Flash. boot Sector Filesystem (bs) installed, fsid: 3 Setting console baud rate to 9600...
