Reset Configuration to Defaults
Under some conditions, like when reassigning a switch to a new environment,
it may be helpful to first return the switch configuration to its factory default
state. Use the following procedure to reset the switch configuration.
Log in as the administrator and enter privileged mode.
Erase the switch configuration.
Performing a write erase will also remove the certificate that was uploaded
for the Web UI.
Reconfigure the switch.
Once the switch configuration is erased, you can continue to use the CLI to
make new configuration changes, or you use the build-in setup dialog to
perform initial setup. To use the setup dialog, first reboot the switch:
When the switch reboots, perform initial setup as described in Chapter 2 on
page 9.
