Restore Factory Defaults
The following two procedures restore the switch to factory defaults and
reboot the switch. Use the first procedure when you can log in to the switch and issue a CLI
command and the second when you cannot.
-
When you can log in to the switch, use
the following command:
unconfigure switch
This command resets most of the
configuration, with the exception of user-configured user accounts and passwords, the
date, and the time. On SummitStack, the command also preserves stacking-specific
parameters so the stack can be formed after reboot.
-
Unset the currently selected configuration image, reset
all switch parameters, and reboot the switch .
unconfigure switch
all
-
If you cannot log in because the switch is in a continuous
booting loop, use the following procedure:
-
Reboot the switch while pressing the space bar. This
puts the switch in Bootstrap mode.
-
From the Bootstrap prompt, type
boot and then press [Enter] and press
the spacebar. This puts the switch in BootROM mode.
-
From the BootROM prompt, type config none.
The following
appears:
Configuration selected: none
-
From the BootROM prompt, enter
reboot. The switch reboots and restores the factory
defaults.
