Resetting to Factory Defaults
You can reset the configuration of the router to factory defaults and save the
current configuration to a file that can be used later. If you changed the router’s
LAN IP address from the factory value 10.10.10.1, you will lose the connection
between the router and the PC because that IP address will change back to
10.10.10.1 when you reset.
Note •The Reset to Factory Defaults feature is not supported on Cisco 3620, 3640,
3640A, and 7000 series routers.
•The Reset to Factory Defaults feature is not supported when you are running
a copy of SDM installed on the PC.
Before you start, you should understand how to give your PC a static IP address
in the 10.10.10.0 subnet so that you will be able to reconnect to the router after
you reset it. The factory configuration does not include a DHCP server
configuration on the router, and the router will not give an IP address to the PC.
Understanding How to Give the PC a Dynamic or Static IP Address After You Reset
If you want to use SDM after you reset, you have to give your PC a static or
dynamic IP address, depending on the type of router that you have. Use the
following table to determine the type of address to give the PC.
