This button will reset the entire switch, including the second management module, when powered on. This action clears any temporary error conditions that may have occurred, executes the switch self test, and resets all network activity counters to zero. The counters are displayed in the switch console interface, the switch web browser interface, and through SNMP network management applications, such as Intelligent Management Center.

Press the Reset button also after changing the module type that is installed in any of the switch module slots while the switch is powered on. See “Replacing components”.

You can also use the no module <slot> command to erase the old module type configuration.
