Switch Cisco 2960/3560 = > recovery password and default settings with the button Mode

Hi Experts,

I have some confusion with the button Mode with cisco 2960/3560 switches.

I read on many forums and articles, but where things are not clear.

a place given 3 seconds and somewhere is given 7 or 10 seconds.

Qus1), what is the exact time to press/hold Mode button to perform two following tasks:

A. password recovery (according to my knowledge 3 sec) good or bad?

Configuration of the switch (start + run) would be safe

After the recovery of password? Yes or no

B. factory default (according to my knowledge 10 dry) good or bad?

I'm afraid, because if I press mode button more than 3 seconds, then

It will delete any configuration of cisco switch. Yes or no

Qus2) I want to recover the catalyst 2960/3560 switch password without

Start/run configuration to lose. That is my main concern.

Please tell me how to do this, what will be the time keeping Mode buttom

in a few seconds?

Qus3) which means this line

"If the password recovery mechanism is disabled in switch

then you will lose all the config.

  • Why are what the buttons 'Clear' and 'Junk' repleased with the button 'archive' (only for one of the accounts)?

    Hello

    I must have changed a parameter, so that the 'Clear' and 'Junk' buttons above the mail pane disappeared, and a button 'Archive' appeared instead. It is true that for my mail via Gmail (IMAP), but when I opened an e-mail from my account (POP), I still see the button 'Clear' and 'Junk '.

    How can I fix?

    Try this:

    Select an e-mail who don't watch all the correct buttons in the section above the message header information itself.

    Right-click on the empty area just above 'Other Actions', you should get a window saying 'customize '.
    Click on "Customize."
    opens in a new window.
    You can drag items on the header area, but I suggest that you click on the 'Restore Default Set' button, then click on the "Done" button.

  • default role with the password - reality check

    I support the database for an application. We went from Oracle10 in Oracle11 9 months. Then recently, we applied the CPU of OCT.

    The application administrator says they have a program which has recently stopped working and who worked after the Oracle11 upgrade.

    The user of the application has a default role that has a password. Is this possible? A default role with a password. Would this be worked in any version of Oracle?

    Default role with the password is even available with Oracle XE. The default roles are enabled without the need for role password in Oracle 10.2:

    10.2 security Guide says:

    If you have a role that is protected by a password, you can activate or disable the role by providing the correct password for the role in a statement of the VALUE. However, if the role is rendered a default and active role at the time of the connection, then the user should not enter a password.

    11.1 and 11.2 Secuirty Guide says:

    If a user is given a role that is protected by a password, you can activate or disable the role by providing the correct password for the role in the ROLE DEFINED declaration. Cannot you authenticate a role authenticated by logon password, even if you add it to the list of default roles. You must enable it explicitly to the ROLE DEFINED statement by using the required password.

  • I restored Firefox to its default settings, but the slowness, crashing and nonresponse are not resolved

    Hello colleagues-Firefox users.

    I followed the Commission indicated in the Support article on the slow, crash, etc. by restoring Firefox to its default settings. But the problems go away. The remains of the slow browser and still gives me error messages on a non-compliant script or plugin and crashes. To make matters worse I don't see the menu on the top tool bar items, I was so used to using, such as file, editing, display, etc.. I very often used the display menu to zoom on texts that are too small for me to read. Now I can not do. I tried to drag icons in the menu on the upper right of the page on the top tool bar above the address bar, but it is not the same thing as what I used to use before, and there is no File, Edit, View, tools in the menu icons. So now I see my g-mail Inbox in tiny little characters. I tried to use the Magnifier suggested in the troubleshooting of support page, but it's too heavy so I gave up.

    Would someone kindly please help me with these questions? Thank you much in advance.

    Kind regards
    Tom Graciano (globmart)

    If the zoom is your problem so just try to use the keyboard.
    Hold down the control (Ctrl) key + "+" to zoom in any window.
    Otherwise if the crash occurs suddenly so just try to uninstall and reinstall Firefox with the update. You brought a lot of changes manually, it might create problem. So reinstall once and check whether it is at your service.

  • Windows Vista x 86, and Windows 7, losing by default settings of the printer after install updates day or end of remote session.

    We have been troubleshooting this issue for a while and we didn't have a patch even if it's a known issue.  When a workstation is set up as a network printer, even if the default settings of Windows (xps document writer) has been removed, the workstation will lose the default settings of the printer after that remote desktop sessions or windows updates have been installed.

    We tried MS FixIT and a registry mod that changes the order of the printers without success.

    We are hoping that there is a fix available before finalize us our Windows 7 image for deployment.

    "device"="no printer name1, winspool, Ne01:

    In our reg mod, we have changed the position of the device at the same time Ne00 and Ne01 without having an effect on the loss of the default printer.  The mod set the default printer, but the settings do not stick.

    I hope there is a fix for this, in addition to a logon script, because our users are on several remote sites.
