reset system

The system has unsaved changes.

Would you like to save them now? (y/n) y

The controller completes the bootup process.

Saving Configurations

Controllers contain two kinds of memory: volatile RAM and NVRAM. At any time, you can save the configuration changes from active volatile RAM to non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) using one of these commands:

Use the save config command. This command saves the configuration from volatile RAM to NVRAM without resetting the controller.

Use the reset system command. The CLI prompts you to confirm that you want to save configuration changes before the controller reboots.

Use the logout command. The CLI prompts you to confirm that you want to save configuration changes before you log out.

Clearing the Controller Configuration

Follow these steps to clear the active configuration in NVRAM.

Step 1 Enter clear config and enter y at the confirmation prompt to confirm the action.

Step 2 Enter reset system. At the confirmation prompt, enter n to reboot without saving configuration changes. When the controller reboots, the configuration wizard starts automatically.

Step 3 Follow the instructions in the “Using the Configuration Wizard” section on page 4-2to complete the initial configuration.

Erasing the Controller Configuration

Follow these steps to reset the controller configuration to default settings:

Step 1 Enter reset system. At the confirmation prompt, enter y to save configuration changes to NVRAM. The controller reboots.

Step 2 When you are prompted for a username, enter recover-configto restore the factory default configuration. The controller reboots and the configuration wizard starts automatically.
