Configuration Considerations

The switch configuration depends on whether you use Zero Touch Deployment or factory default mode.

Zero Touch Deployment Configuration

With Zero Touch Deployment, the switch configuration consists of the following:

Factory Default Mode

The switch continues to support the boot configuration flag boot config flags factorydefaults to return an existing switch to factory default configuration.

Note

Note

Zero Touch Deployment does not run on a switch returned to factory default configuration in this manner.

For more information, see Boot Sequence.

The factory default boot configuration flag supports the following behaviors:

Table 1. Factory default boot configuration flag parameters

Parameter

Action

no parameter used

Removes the configuration files, primary and secondary config file names, all user account passwords, digital certificates, IKE/OSPF/IS-IS keys, and SNMP communities. All ports are disabled and assigned to VLAN 1. License files are not removed.

config-only

Boots the switch with a blank configuration.

This parameter preserves configuration files, primary and secondary configuration file names, user accounts and passwords, digital certificates, IKE/OSPF/IS-IS keys, license files, and SNMP communities. All ports are disabled and assigned to VLAN 1.

Use this parameter as a temporary troubleshooting option to test or investigate if something is wrong with the configuration without permanently removing the configuration files, user accounts, and other preserved items.

reset-all-files

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, removes license files, and performs a ZTP+ configuration after reboot. The 30-day factory license is also reset.

Note:

You can also use the unconfigure switch command to achieve the same behavior.

zero-touch

Boots the switch with a default configuration that enables Auto-sense. This parameter resets secure files but keeps the security mode and performs a ZTP+ configuration after reboot. License files are not removed.

zero-touch-config-only

Boots the switch with a blank configuration that enables Auto-sense and performs a ZTP+ configuration.

This parameter preserves configuration files, primary and secondary configuration file names, user accounts and passwords, digital certificates, IKE/OSPF/IS-IS keys, license files, and SNMP communities. All ports are disabled and assigned to VLAN 1.

Use this parameter as a temporary troubleshooting option to test or investigate if something is wrong with the configuration without permanently removing the configuration files, user accounts, and other preserved items.
