Important Points to Remember
When you restore all the units in a stack, these units are placed in standalone mode.
When you restore a single unit in a stack, only that unit is placed in standalone mode. No other units in the stack are
affected.
After the restore is complete, the units power cycle immediately.
The following example illustrates the restore factory-defaults command to restore the factory default settings.
Restoring Factory Default Environment Variables
The Boot line determines the location of the image that is used to boot up the chassis after restoring factory default settings.
Ideally, these locations contain valid images, using which the chassis boots up.
When you restore factory-default settings, you can either use a flash boot procedure or a network boot procedure to boot the
switch.
Important Points to Remember
The Chassis remains in boot prompt if none of the partitions contain valid images.
To enable TFTP boot after restoring factory default settings, you must stop the boot process in BLI.
Viewing the Reason for Last System Reboot
You can view the reason for the last system reboot. To view the reason for the last system reboot, follow this procedure:
Use the following command to view the reason for the last system reboot:
EXEC or EXEC Privilege mode
show reset-reason [stack-unit {unit-number | all}]
Enter the stack-unit keyword and the stack unit number to view the reason for the last system reboot for that stack
unit.
Enter the stack-unit keyword and the keyword all to view the reason for the last system reboot of all stack units in the
stack.

Disabling Syslog Messages for SNMP Authentication
Failure Events
The system generates syslog messages for SNMP authentication events. Over time, these messages can fill up the syslog file on
the system, making analyzing system logs a cumbersome task. You can disable syslog messages for SNMP authentication failure
events on the system. To disable these messages, follow this procedure:
Disable syslog messages for SNMP authentication failure events.
CONFIGURATION mode
logging disable-syslog snmp auth-failure
NOTE: This command does not disable SNMP traps for SNMP authentication failure events.
