In CLI mode, you can change back to GUI mode, reboot, or RMA the device using the advanced settings.

To use the CLI advanced settings:

  1. From the CLI Mode page, select Advanced.
  2. In the CLI Advanced Settings dialog, edit the fields.

    GUI Mode Using GUI mode is optional. Changing back to GUI mode disrupts service. (The best practice is to use the Schedule option to put the switch into GUI mode during off-peak hours.) Changing to GUI mode also disables the CLI switch credentials if the switch is put into CLI mode again. In this case, a new random password is generated and displays in the user interface.
    Reboot Restarts the switch.
    RMA Select which existing switch to replace with the new switch. (The list of available switches only shows switches that have the same hardware and locally installed licenses.) The new, replacement switch is put into CLI mode. It can take an hour or more to download the configuration from the existing switch to the replacement switch.
  3. Select Save.
