How to Return to the Factory Defaults
The switch dynamically adds the default settings to the running-config at start-up if the
default file is not present. This section describes how to use this feature to return to the
factory defaults.
Completely
restore defaults

delete or rename the default file and make sure no other file is set as the start-up
configuration file.
To find the location of the default boot configuration file, enter Privileged Exec mode and

To delete the default file when it is the current boot configuration file, enter Privileged
Exec mode and enter either of the commands:

Partially restore
defaults
To partially restore the default settings, make a configuration file that contains the settings
you want to keep and set this as the start-up configuration file. On start-up, the switch will
add the missing settings to the running-config.
Note After reboot the show running-config output will show the default factory
settings for your switch once you have removed the default.cfg file. To recreate
the default.cfg file enter copy running-config startup-config. When you enter
copy running-config startup-config commands the default.cfg file is updated
with the startup-config.
