configuration is not affected. The write erase command erases the entire startup configuration with the
exception of any configuration that affects the loader functionality.
The write erase boot command only erases the configuration that affects the loader functionality. The
loader functionality configuration includes the boot variables and the mgmt0 IP configuration
information (IP address, netmask, and default gateway).
