Boots the switch with a factory default configuration.
Equivalent to a switch that ships from the factory. The switch has no configuration files, default user accounts, default security mode, Auto-sense-enabled ports, and performs a ZTP+ configuration after reboot. The 30-day factory license is also reset. If required, you must revoke the license file.
Note
unconfigure switch and boot config flags factorydefaults reset-all-files commands have the same behavior. For more information, see Enable Factory Default Behavior.
When you use the unconfigure switch command , it changes the value of the factory default flag in the show boot config flags command output to flags factorydefaults reset-all-files.

Switch:1>enable Switch:1#configure terminal Switch:1(config)#unconfigure switch Warning: Factorydefaults flag will delete all config (*.cfg) files on /intflash/, as well as local password files, authentication keys, and certificates. Also, if you try to reset with a new image, it will not be loaded. Enhanced Secure and HiSecure modes will also be reset. Ports will be configured with auto-sense enabled. License files will also be removed on non-Universal-Hardware. To undo this operation use "no boot config flags factorydefaults".
