factory-reset [<HOSTNAME/MAC>|config-all|config-device-only|on <RF-DOMAIN-NAME>]
factory-reset <HOSTNAME/MAC> {<HOSTNAME/MAC>}
factory-reset on <RF-DOMAIN-NAME> {containing <SUB-STRING>|exclude-controllers|
exclude-rf-domain-manager|filter <DEVICE-TYPE>}
factory-reset [config-all|config-device-only] [<HOSTNAME/MAC> {<HOSTNAME/MAC>}|on <RF-DOMAIN-NAME> 
{containing <SUB-STRING>|exclude-controllers|exclude-rf-domain-manager|filter <DEVICE-TYPE>}]

Parameters

factory-reset <HOSTNAME/MAC> {<HOSTNAME/MAC>}
factory-reset Erases startup configuration and reloads device(s) based on the parameters passed

For more information on the actions performed by this command, see Actions performed by the factory-reset command.
<HOSTNAME/MAC> {<HOSTNAME/MAC>} Erases startup configuration and reloads the device identified by the <HOSTNAME/MAC> keyword
  • <HOSTNAME/MAC> – Optional. You can optionally specify multiple space-separated devices.
 
factory-reset on <RF-DOMAIN-NAME> {containing <SUB-STRING>|exclude-controllers|
exclude-rf-domain-manager|filter <DEVICE-TYPE>}
factory-reset Erases startup configuration and reloads device(s) based on the parameters passed

on <RF-DOMAIN-NAME> {containing <SUB-STRING>| exclude-controllers| exclude-rf-domain-manager| filter <DEVICE-TYPE>]} Erases startup configuration and reloads all devices or specified device(s) within a specified RF Domain identified by the <RF-DOMAIN-NAME> keyword
  • <RF-DOMAIN-NAME> – Specify the RF Domain name. After specifying the RF Domain, optionally use the filters provided to identify specific device(s) within the RF Domain. If none of the filters are used, the command is executed on all devices within the RF Domain. These filters are:
    • containing <SUB-STRING> – Optional. Executes the command on all devices containing a specified sub-string in their hostname
      • <SUB-STRING> – Specify the sub-string to match.
    • exclude-controllers – Optional. Executes the command on all devices excluding controllers. Since only a NOC controller is capable of adopting other controllers, use this option when executing the command on a NOC controller.
    • exclude-rf-domain-manager – Optional. Executes the command on all devices excluding RF Domain managers. Use this option when executing the command on the NOC, site controller, or RF Domain manager.
    • filter <DEVICE-TYPE> – Optional. Executes the command on all devices of a specified type
      • <DEVICE-TYPE> – Specify the device type. The options are:AP 6522, AP 6562, AP 7161, AP 7502, AP-7522, AP 7532, AP 7562, AP 7602, AP-7612, AP 7622, AP7632, AP7662, AP-8163, AP-8432, AP-8533, RFS 4000, NX 5500, NX 75XX, NX 95XX, NX 96XX, and VX. The startup configuration is erased on all devices of the type specified here. For example, if AP 7602 is the device-type specified, the command is executed on all AP 7602s within the specified RF Domain.

{containing <SUB-STRING>|exclude-controllers|exclude-rf-domain-manager|filter <DEVICE-TYPE>}]
factory-reset Erases startup configuration and reloads device(s) based on the parameters passed

[config-all| config-device-only] Erases startup configuration and reloads only controller-adopted devices or the controller as well as its adopted devices
  • config-all – Erases startup configuration on the controller and all devices adopted by it
  • config-device-only – Erases startup configuration only on the devices adopted by the controller
<HOSTNAME/MAC> {<HOSTNAME/MAC>} This parameter is common to the ‘config-all‘ and ‘config-device-only‘ keywords:
  • <HOSTNAME/MAC> – Erases startup configuration and reloads the device identified by the <HOSTNAME/MAC> keyword. Specify the device‘s hostname or MAC address.
    • <HOSTNAME/MAC> – Optional. You can optionally specify multiple space-separated devices.
on <RF-DOMAIN-NAME> {containing <SUB-STRING>|exclude-controllers|exclude-rf-domain-manager|filter <DEVICE-TYPE> The following parameters are common to the ‘config-all‘ and ‘config-device-only‘ keywords:
  • on <RF-DOMAIN-NAME> – Erases startup configuration and reloads all devices or specified device(s) within a specified RF Domain
    • <RF-DOMAIN-NAME> – Specify the RF Domain name.

      After specifying the RF Domain, optionally use the filters provided to identify specific device(s) within the RF Domain. If none of the filters are used, the command is executed on all devices within the RF Domain. These filters are:

      • containing <SUB-STRING> – Optional. Executes the command on all devices containing a specified sub-string in their hostname
        • <SUB-STRING> – Specify the sub-string to match.
      • exclude-controllers – Optional. Executes the command on all devices excluding controllers. Since only a NOC controller is capable of adopting other controllers, use this option when executing the command on a NOC controller.
      • exclude-rf-domain-manager – Optional. Executes the command on all devices excluding RF Domain managers. Use this option when executing the command on the NOC, Site controller, or RF Domain manager.
      • filter <DEVICE-TYPE> – Optional. Executes the command on all devices of a specified type
        • <DEVICE-TYPE> – Specify the device type. The options are:AP 6522, AP 6562, AP 7161, AP 7502, AP-7522, AP 7532, AP 7562, AP 7602, AP-7612, AP 7622, AP7632, AP7662, AP-8163, AP-8432, AP-8533, RFS 4000, NX 5500, NX 75XX, NX 95XX, NX 96XX, and VX.

Usage Guidelines (Actions performed by the factory-reset command)

The action taken by this command depends on the parameters passed.
  • For the factory-reset [<DEVICE-NAME>|on <RF-DOMAIN-NAME>] options, the command:
    • Erases startup configuration on the target device (or) all devices in the target RF Domain.
    • Erases the device configuration entries from the controller‘s configuration for the target device (or) for all the devices in the target RF Domain.
    • Reloads the target device (or) all devices in the target RF Domain.
  • For the factory-reset config-all [<DEVICE-NAME>|on <RF-DOMAIN-NAME>] options, the command:
    • Erases startup configuration on the target device (or) all devices in the target RF Domain.
    • Erases the device configuration entries from the controller‘s configuration for the target device (or) for all the devices in the target RF Domain.
  • For the factory-reset config-device-only [<DEVICE-NAME>|on <RF-DOMAIN-NAME>] options, the command:
    • Erases startup configuration on the target device (or) all devices in the target RF Domain.
