How To
Summary
IBM c-type (Cisco) switches.
Steps
To perform a Factory Reset on a Cisco MDS switch, follow the steps below:
-
Erase the existing configuration with write erase
-
Once this command is issued, the switch’s startup configuration reverts to factory defaults. The running configuration is not affected. The write erase command erases the entire startup configuration with the exception of any configuration that affects the loader functionality.
-
-
Clear the loader functionality configuration with write erase boot
-
The command only erases the configuration that affects the loader functionality. The loader functionality configuration includes the boot variables and the mgmt0 IP configuration information (IP address, netmask, and default gateway).
-
-
Reload the system with reload
-
If you're asked to save the run to start, select no.
