Dell EMC Networking OS Configuration Guide for the S5048F–ON System 9.14.2.8

Restoring the Factory Default Settings

Restoring the factory-default settings deletes the existing NVRAM settings, startup configuration, and all configured settings such as, stacking or fanout.

To restore the factory default settings, use the restore factory-defaults stack-unit {stack—unit—number | all} {clear-all | nvram | bootvar} command in EXEC Privilege mode.
CAUTION There is no undo for this command.

Important Points to Remember

  • When you restore all the units in a stack, these units are placed in standalone mode.

  • When you restore a single unit in a stack, only that unit is placed in standalone mode. No other units in the stack are affected.

  • When you restore the units in standalone mode, the units remain in standalone mode after the restoration.

  • After the restore is complete, the units power cycle immediately.

The following example illustrates the restore factory-defaults command to restore the factory default settings.
