Downloading New Switch Software - HP CX 6300 Installation And Getting Started Manual

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 erase startup-config command from
the console command prompt.
