`config-clear`

Syntax

config-clear

Description

Configures the switch to set all configuration settings to factory default when the switch is restarted. The next time the switch starts, the current startup-config is renamed to startup-config-fixme, and a new startup-config is created with factory default settings.

NOTE:

Using this command is not the same as performing zeroization, which securely erases the entire primary storage and other devices, and not just the configuration.
