Restoring the Factory-Default Configuration

Restoring the Factory-DefaultConfiguration

As part of your troubleshooting process, it may become necessary to return the switch configuration to the factory default settings. This process momen­ tarily interrupts the switch operation, clears any passwords, clears the console Event Log, resets the network counters to zero, performs a complete self test, and reboots the switch into its factory default configuration including deleting an IP address. There are two methods for resetting to the factory-default configuration:

CLI

Clear/Reset button combination

ProCurve recommends that you save your configuration to a TFTP server before resetting the switch to its factory-default configuration. You can also save your configuration via Xmodem, to a directly connected PC.

CLI: Resetting to the Factory-Default Configuration

This command operates at any level except the Operator level.

Syntax: erase startup-configuration

Deletes the startup-config file in flash so that the switch will reboot with its factory-default configuration.

The erase startup-configcommand does not clear passwords.

Clear/Reset: Resetting to the Factory-Default Configuration

To execute the factory default reset, perform these steps:

1.Using pointed objects, simultaneously press both the Reset and Clear buttons on the front of the switch.
