How To Reset the startup-config and running-config Files to the

Factory Default Configuration. This command reboots the switch, replacing the contents of the current startup-config and running-config files with the factory-default startup configuration.

Syntax: erase startup-config

For example:

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# erase startup-config Configuration will be deleted and device rebooted, continue [y/n]?

Press [Y] to replace the current configuration with the factory default config- uration and reboot the switch. Press [N] to retain the current configuration and prevent a reboot.

The menu and web browser interfaces offer these advantages:

Quick, easy menu or window access to a subset of switch configuration features (See the “Menu Features List” on page 2-13and the web browser “General Features” list on page .)

Viewing several related configuration parameters in the same screen, with their default and current settings

Immediately changing both the running-config file and the startup-config file with a single command

Using the Menu Interface To Implement Configuration Changes

You can use the menu interface to simultaneously save and implement a subset of switch configuration changes without having to reboot the switch. That is, when you save a configuration change in the menu interface, you simulta- neously change both the running-config file and the startup-config file.
