Restoring Factory-Default Settings
When you restore factory-default settings on a switch, the existing NVRAM settings, startup configuration,
and all configured settings are deleted.
To restore the factory-default settings, enter the restore factory-defaults {chassis | domain
| linecard | pe | rpm } command in EXEC Privilege mode.
CAUTION: There is no undo for this command.
Important Point to Remember
• After the restore is complete, a switch reloads immediately.
The following example shows how the restore factory-defaults command restores a switch to its factory
default settings.

Restoring Factory-Default Boot Environment Variables
The Boot line determines the location of the image that is used to boot up the switch after restoring
factory-default settings. Ideally, these locations contain valid images, which the switch uses to boot up.
When you restore factory-default settings, you can either use a flash boot procedure or a network boot
procedure to boot the switch.
When you use a flash boot procedure to boot the switch, the reset boot variables are displayed below
restore bootvar in the command output.
