Description
Using the delete command, you can erase the configuration file of the routers saved
in Flash memory or NVRAM.
Be careful when executing this command. It is better to execute it under the guidance
of a technical support engineer.
This command is normally used in the following situations:
•
When the router software has been upgraded, the configuration file in Flash
memory may not match that of the upgraded version. You can erase the old
configuration file with the delete command.
•
A used router is applied in a new environment, and the existing configuration file
does not meet requirements of the new environment. It is then necessary to
re-configure the router after erasing the original configuration file.
•
In the 3Com series of routers, the configuration file stored in the media specified
by the configfile command will be erased.
•
When the router is powered on and is initializing, if the system detects no
configuration file in Flash memory, it will initialize the router via the default
parameters.
For related commands, see first-config, save, download config, display
current-configuration, display saved-configuration.
Example
# Delete the configuration file of the routers in Flash memory or NVRAM.
[3Com] delete
This will erase the configuration in the flash memory.
The router configurations will be erased to reconfigure!
