Hello everyone,
I've got a Nortel 460-24T PWR switch. Right now it is addressed as:
172.16.34.1 with a subnet of 255.255.240.0 and a GW of: 172.16.32.150

I want to unaddress this switch and just use it as a basic switch,
that will get its address from a WAN wire plugged into it and then
will also give out WAN addreses.

Right now I have a very simple consumer brand 3Com that is our Public
address switch. It gets our feed coming in and also anything that we
want to have a publicly routable address also gets plugged into one of
the ports. I want to do this with my Nortel, how do I do this?

thanks.

Reset the switch back to factory defaults. At the Command Line
Interface, type:

boot default

Then you may wish to set the ports for fast spanning tree and stop the
switch from trying to acquire an address via bootp:

config terminal
ip bootp server disable
interface FastEthernet ALL
spanning-tree learning fast
exit
copy conf nvram
