Where is the reset button for the cisco sg100-16 switch?

[RolanddeLeeuw74928]

Professionally i have been using cisco switches for 10+ years. So i bought a sg100-16 for home. But where can i find the reset button? As i can remember there is always a reset button on the front near the power LED (Led is brining continuous green).

I cannot find it on the back, and not on the front. On the internet i cannot seem to find anything for a factory reset. And there is no serial port at the back. So i might be missing something, could someone point me in the right direction.

Hi Roland,

SG100 is an unmanaged switch and does not have a reset button. You can only restart/power cycle the device from the power plug. There is really no configuration that runs on the device neither you can configure something.

Thankyou for the reply!

Ok, i remember i have setup a ip adress for this switch, i just dont remember what. So i figured to reset the switch. Ooohh.. wait a minute. (AHA erlebnis) I bought a 24 port switch (SG200-26) from cisco after this switch, so i had some more ports at my disposal.

Whetever i do, i just plug it in and it works? ohh dear... i did not remember this one.

So i figure that port 1 will be the uplink to my router then?

Hi Roland,

Yes, you can choose whichever port you wish for an uplink.

And it is working... Sometimes we just make things too difficult for ourselves.. Just connect it and go, no IP needed, data just flows through the switch.
