Key Considerations
When you decommission (replace) a switch, consider the following:
• The switch needs to be manually powered off.
• The switch is automatically placed in an “unmanaged state” and the AFM stops managing this switch.
• The new switch should use the factory default setting.
• If the old switch is used, reset it to the factory default setting.
• AFM generates information for Return Material Authorization (RMA), which you submit to iSupport.
