Hello all,
I'm having an issue with my SG300-52P, I was ssh'ed into the console to start setting up some vlans, when i had the great idea of moving my management interface to the new management vlan i had created. I hit yes on the prompt and it quickly booted me off ssh. Now I realized what I had done, but also I assumed that since I hadn't written to memory yet I unplugged the power. Now it just boots up every time with a flashing blinking green light forever. I've been trying to get the console port to work and either i have the wrong cable setup or the console port is dead. Thanks in advance

@geekyhobo hi, when you using console do you see any output? also try to use default IP address of switch to see if accessible.
blinking green light means, switch is searching for DHCP server to get management IP. you can try setting up a DHCP server in your PC and connect to switch. then reboot, so you may see the IP assign to switch and use that to access the switch. you can use tool like tftpd to deploy small DHCP server.

Zero output on console but i might have the wrong cable without a rollover pin-out i have a hopefully corrected cable with the right pin out coming tomorrow. I think it might be corrupted flash, hoping my console isn't bad either. Will update accordingly
