You may need to erase the configuration file for one of these reasons:
z After you upgrade software, the old configuration file does not match the new software.

The following two situations exist:
z While the reset saved-configuration [ main ] command erases the configuration file with main
attribute, it only erases the main attribute of a configuration file having both main and backup
attribute.

attribute, it only erases the backup attribute of a configuration file having both main and backup
attribute.
