Erase Configuration Commands (ERASE)
These commands can be used to erase the entire configuration or parts of the router’s configuration from FLASH
memory. The parts of the configuration you can erase include:
•System
• Ethernet LAN
• DSL and Remote Router Database settings
• DHCP settings
• Filters
Once you erase part of the configuration, you will need to reconfigure that part of the configuration entirely.
Important:
All of the following
erase
commands require a
reboot
without a
save
command to take effect.
ERASE ALL
Erases the configuration settings for the system, Ethernet LAN, DSL line, DHCP, and remote router database
from FLASH memory.
Note:
There is a time lag between the response issued by the
erase
command and the time the data is actually
deleted from FLASH memory. Issue a
sync
command after an
erase
command prior to powering off the router.
This commits the changes to FLASH memory.
Example:
erase all
ERASE ATM25
Erases the ATM configuration settings. All new entries and changed entries are erased from FLASH memory.
Example:
erase atm25
ERASE DHCP
Erases the dhcp configuration settings. All new entries and changed entries are erased from FLASH memory.
Example:
erase dhcp
erase all
erase atm25
erase dhcp
