configDefault
Resets the nonpersistent configuration data to factory defaults.
SYNOPSIS configdefault [-fid FID | -all | -switch]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to reset the nonpersistent configuration settings to their factory default values.
Configuration data is grouped into chassis information and switch information. Each configuration type is
managed separately. The behavior of configDefault depends on the environment in which the command
is executed:
• In a Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without operands, this command resets the switch
configuration to default values on the current logical switch only. An Admin with chassis permissions
can use additional parameters to reset configuration data for a specified logical switch (-fid FID) or
for all logical switches and the chassis (-all).
• In a non-Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without operands, this command resets the
switch configuration. When executed with the -all operand, configDefault resets all of the system's
configuration data, including chassis and switch configurations. The -switch option resets the switch
configuration only. The -fid option is not valid.
This command resets nonpersistent configuration parameters only. The following parameters are not
affected by this command:
• Ethernet MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, and boot ROM parameters
• IP gateway address
• License keys
• OEM customization
• Product ID and Vendor ID
• SNMP configuration
• System name
• Chassis name
• World wide name
• Zoning configuration (includes aliases, zones, and configurations)
• Security parameters and policies
• User account passwords (includes all user configuration and all built-in accounts)
• Switch PID format
• Ethernet Link Mode
Refer to the help files for configure and configureChassis help for more information on default values
for configuration parameters.
NOTES This command cannot be executed on an enabled switch. You must first disable the switch using
switchDisable or chassisDisable.
Some configuration parameters are cached by the system. To avoid unexpected system behavior, reboot
the system after executing configDefault.
Note that configDefault does not completely remove all FCIP tunnels and GbE IP address information.
This may be an issue when attempting to use the same information to create new tunnels or modify the
existing ones.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
