Restoring the Factory Default Settings
Restoring the factory-default settings deletes the existing NVRAM settings, startup configuration, and all configured settings
such as, stacking or fanout.
To restore the factory default settings, use the restore factory-defaults stack-unit {stack—unit—number |
all} {clear-all | nvram | bootvar} command in EXEC Privilege mode.
CAUTION: There is no undo for this command.
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.
● When you restore the units in standalone mode, the units remain in standalone mode after the restoration.
● 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.
DellEMC#restore factory-defaults stack-unit 1 nvram
