Command
Syntax
system factory-reset
erase startup-config
Mode
Privileged Exec mode
Description
Both of these commands perform the same function. Analogous to Syntax
3 in the standard command, they are used to restore the default settings
on stand-alone switches and stacks.
Unlike the standard command, these commands display a confirmation
prompt. To restore the default settings, enter “Y” for yes at the prompt.
Otherwise, enter “N” for no to cancel the procedure.
As explained in the standard command, restoring the default settings does
not alter the settings in the active configuration file. To return the file to the
default settings, you must save the configuration after the switch or stack
resets. Otherwise, the switch or stack returns to its previous configuration
the next time it is reset or power cycled.
Note
These commands cause a stand-alone switch or a stack to reset.
Network traffic is not forwarded during the reset process. Some
network traffic may be lost.
To reboot a stand-alone switch or a stack from the AlliedWare Plus
command interface, refer to the AlliedWare Plus command in “RESTART
REBOOT” on page 73.
Example
This command restores the parameters on a switch or a stack to their
default values:
awplus> enable
awplus# system factory-reset
