Usage Information

Restoring factory defaults deletes the existing startup configuration and all persistent settings (stacking, fanout, and so forth).

When restoring all units in a stack, all the units in the stack are placed into stand-alone mode.

When restoring a single unit in a stack, that unit placed in stand-alone mode. No other units in the stack are affected.

When restoring units in stand-alone mode, the units remin in stand-alone mode after the restoration. After the restore is complete, the units power cycle immediately.

CAUTION: There is no undo for this command.
