I decide to connect a laptop on Port 1 of this Switch and configure the laptop ethernet properties manually set to "10.1.10.254, 255.0.0.0 and 10.1.10.1. I don't know why doesn't it reply on ping? Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.10.3, timeout is 2 seconds:

SW2950BLDG2-48PORTS con0 is now available I run these commands but they don't do anything. I am connected via console and get the prmompt display below everytime I connect to switch. I want to reset the setting to factory default to get the BOOT option again. I was wondering If I needed to assign an IP address to Vlan1 insted. I connected the cable on port Fastethernet1/0 and other end to my laptop assigned the laptop static IP 10.1.10.253 to talk to switch but I couldn't get connection to switch. Save it to NVRAM and rebooted the switch. I used the console to do all the settings.
When I first turn on this switch, I got boot menu to do some password settings and switch settings.
I have purchased another Catalyst 2950 refurbised and like to connect replace with Linksys. I am replacing my old 8 port Linksys switch that is uplink with Catalyst 2950 switch via Giga port.
