Restoring the factory default configuration
As part of your troubleshooting process on the switch, it may become necessary to return the switch
configuration to the factory default settings. This process momentarily interrupts the switch operation,
clears any passwords, clears the console event log, resets the network counters to zero, performs a
complete self-test, and reboots the switch into its factory default configuration, including deleting the IP
address, if one is configured.
This process removes all switch configuration changes made from the factory default settings. This operation
includes, for example, configuration of VLANs, spanning tree, and trunks. Returning the configuration of these
features to their factory default settings (usually disabling them) may result in network connectivity issues.
If the switch has a valid configuration, and you are restoring the factory default settings for a reason other than
configuration problems, save the switch configuration prior to performing the factory default reset. After the reset
and resolution of the original problem, you can restore the saved configuration to the switch.
You can restore the factory default configuration either on the switch console or on the switch itself.
To restore the factory default configuration using the console, execute the
command from the console command prompt.
