Resetting 2724 switch
I am using a Dell 2724 I do not know the password to access the switch. The switch has been accessed and has been configured. I have checked and from what I can tell every machine that is plugged in to the switch is on the same VLAN.
My Question:
If I reset the switch will the machines on that switch be accessible? I would like to reset the switch and then reconfigure the switch with a new IP and password. While doing this I need the machines connected to the switch to still be accessible. I understand that while the switch is booting up the machines will not be accessible.

I think this depends on what you have configured for your switch right now. If you have VLANs setup on the 2724 and the systems connected to this switch are on different VLAN to connect to their services then resetting the switch and clearing its configuration would probably affect your connection to the devices. Also if you configured something specific on the port connected to those devices then reseting the switch would clear those configuration and may affect your connection. On the other hand if all you have so far is a default set of configuration - using your switch as a simple L2 switch with just default configuration with possibly some account and IP address settings then reseting the switch will not cause connectivity problem except during the reboot cycle.
