Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 125
53-1004112-02
configDefault
configDefault
Resets the nonpersistent configuration data to factory defaults.
Synopsis configdefault [-fid FID | -all | -switch] [-force]
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). Resetting default FCR configuration data requires base switch to be configured
in the chassis.
• 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.
