Hi everyone,
I have a SG500-52 switch that I inadvertently shut off power to the other day. When I restored power, the switch did not boot correctly so I connected to the console port. On boot, the switch displayed the following message:
The MAC address is not valid. You must set it now!
Not thinking anything of it, I entered a completely made-up MAC address (10:10:10:10:10:10). The switch then prompted for a hardware revision and a serial number, all of which it seemingly stored in flash.
After providing the information, the switch booted into an operational mode and appears to be working correctly.
However, I would like to reset the MAC address of the switch to the given address printed on the back sticker. Additionally, I am sure I did not enter the hardware revision correctly.
My questions:
1. What is the procedure to set the flash values for the MAC address, hardware revision, and serial number?
2. Is there a guide with instructions on how to enter the values (specifically for the hardware revision and serial number) correctly?
Thanks!
