Reset Configuration
You must have maintenance authorization rights to access this feature.
This option resets all configuration data input through options in the
Configuration menu, zoning configurations, and switch addressing to
factory-default values. Since the current IP address for the switch
may not match the factory default address, the Ethernet link between
the switch and the service processor may drop and not reset. Before
