How to save and boot from the current configuration
How to return to the factory defaults
The switch dynamically adds the default settings to the running-config at start-up if the default
file is not present. This section describes how to use this feature to return to the factory
defaults.
Completely
restore
defaults
To completely remove your configuration and return to the factory default configuration,
delete or rename the default file and make sure no other file is set as the start-up configuration
file.
To find the location of the default boot configuration file, enter Privileged Exec mode and
enter the command:
awplus#show boot
To delete the default file when it is the current boot configuration file, enter Privileged Exec
mode and enter either of the commands:
awplus#delete force <filename>
or:
awplus#erase startup-config
Caution: Erasing startup-config deletes the current boot configuration file—it does not
simply stop the file from being the boot file.
To make sure that no other file is loaded at start-up, enter Global Configuration mode and
enter the command:
awplus(config)#no boot config-file
Partially
restore
defaults
To partially restore the default settings, make a configuration file that contains the settings you
want to keep and set this as the start-up configuration file. On start-up, the switch will add the
missing settings to the running-config.
For example, to use default settings but still keep an IP address on the eth0 management port,
create a file like the following one and set it as the boot configuration file:
awplus#show file eth0-ip.cfg
!
interface eth0
ip address 172.28.8.210/16
!
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 172.28.0.1
!
end
