Clear NVRAM
Clear to factory defaults
Solution
This information is paraphrased from the
SecureStack C2 Configuration Guide.
One of two cli (
5463) command forms may be used to clear the configuration to factory defaults.
- The 'clear config' command clears configuration parameters without clearing stack unit IDs. This command will not clear stack parameters and avoids the process of re-numbering the stack.
C2(su)->
clear config
- The 'clear config all' command clears all configuration parameters, including stack unit IDs, and switch priority values, management history, and SNMPv3 EngineID.
C2(su)->
clear config all
Note1: With any version C3 or B3 firmware, C2 firmware 3.03.27 and higher, B2 firmware 3.00.14 and higher, and A2 firmware 1.02.12 and higher; the 'clear config' and 'clear config all' commands retain the configured host IP address. To clear just the host IP address, see
5692.
Note2: The 'clear config' and 'clear config all' commands retain any B3 or B2 Policy licenses. Only the 'clear license featureId...' command can clear applied licenses.
Note3: Configuration parameters (including the IP address) and stacking information can also be cleared on the master unit only by selecting option 10 from the boot menu on device startup (
5476, "Resetting the admin Password, method 2" section). This selection will leave stacking priorities on all other units.
