Reset BMC Configuration to Factory Defaults

In case of a security breach, it might be required that the configuration applied to a BMC's be reset to the factory defaults. Use the bmc factory reset command to do so.

To reset the device's BMC configuration back to its factory defaults:
  1. From the Executable Mode, execute the command bmc factory reset.
    SLX# bmc factory reset 
      SLXOS needs to be restarted for normal operations, after bmc factory reset. 
      Do you want to continue? (y/n): 
  2. Enter y to proceed with restarting the device and resetting the BMC configuration to factory defaults.
    SLX# bmc factory reset 
      SLXOS needs to be restarted for normal operations, after bmc factory reset. 
      Do you want to continue? (y/n): y
    SLX# 
  3. Use the reload command to force the device to reboot.
    SLX# reload
    
    The device starts to reboot and post reboot, the BMC configuration is reset to its factory defaults.

The following example shows the reset to BMC's factory default settings.

 SLX# bmc factory reset
  SLXOS needs to be restarted for normal operations, after bmc factory reset. 
  Do you want to continue? (y/n): y
SLX# reload
