Restoring the Default Settings to the Switch
To restore the default settings to the switch, delete or rename the active
boot configuration file and then reset the unit. Without an active boot
configuration file, the switch will use the default parameter settings after it
initializes the management software.
Caution
Restoring the default settings requires that you reset the switch. The
unit will not forward network traffic while it initializes the
management software. Some network traffic may be lost.
There are two ways to delete the active boot configuration file. One way is
with the DELETE command in the Privileged Exec mode. Here is the
format of the command:
delete filename .cfg
This example deletes the active boot configuration file “Sales_unit.cfg”
and resets the switch:
awplus> enable
awplus# delete Sales_unit.cfg
awplus# reboot
reboot switch? (y/n): y
If you do not know the name of the active boot configuration file, you can
display it with the SHOW BOOT command in the Privileged Exec mode.
Figure 35 is an example of what is displayed:

field.
