Restoring The Factory Default Configuration; Asa 5505 Default Configuration - Cisco PIX 500 Series Configuration Manual

Factory Default Configurations
The factory default configuration is available only for routed firewall mode and single context mode. See
Chapter 3, "Enabling Multiple Context Mode,"

routed and transparent firewall mode.

Restoring the Factory Default Configuration

To restore the factory default configuration, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# configure factory-default [ ip_address [ mask ]]
If you specify the ip_address, then you set the inside or management interface IP address, depending on
your model, instead of using the default IP address of 192.168.1.1. The http command uses the subnet
you specify. Similarly, the dhcpd address command range consists of addresses within the subnet that
you specify.
After you restore the factory default configuration, save it to internal Flash memory using the write
memory command. The write memory command saves the running configuration to the default location
for the startup configuration, even if you previously configured the boot config command to set a
different location; when the configuration was cleared, this path was also cleared.
This command also clears the boot system command, if present, along with the rest of the configuration.
Note
The boot system command lets you boot from a specific image, including an image on the external Flash
memory card. The next time you reload the security appliance after restoring the factory configuration,
it boots from the first image in internal Flash memory; if you do not have an image in internal Flash
memory, the security appliance does not boot.
To configure additional settings that are useful for a full configuration, see the setup command.

An inside VLAN 1 interface that includes the Ethernet 0/1 through 0/7 switch ports. If you did not
set the IP address in the configure factory-default command, then the VLAN 1 IP address and mask
are 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0.
An outside VLAN 2 interface that includes the Ethernet 0/0 switch port. VLAN 2 derives its IP
address using DHCP.
The default route is also derived from DHCP.
All inside IP addresses are translated when accessing the outside using interface PAT.
By default, inside users can access the outside, and outside users are prevented from accessing the
inside.
