Concept Guide
6 The LBQA will limit each sanity check to a maximum of 16 operations (read + write).
7 LBQA will use a variable number of sanity checks over time, it would perform at least 1 check during every poll interval but will perform
8 checks during a signal poll once in 5 seconds.
8 The LBQA can be disabled on a system wide basis (i.e all stack-units or line cards as applicable) through a CLI command.
Restoring the Factory Default Settings
Restoring the factory-default settings deletes the existing NVRAM settings, startup conguration, and all congured 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 aected.
• 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.

Restoring Factory Default Environment Variables
The Boot line determines the location of the image that is used to boot up the chassis after restoring factory default settings. Ideally, these
locations contain valid images, using which the chassis boots up.
When you restore factory-default settings, you can either use a ash boot procedure or a network boot procedure to boot the switch.
When you use the ash boot procedure to boot the device, the boot loader checks if the primary or the secondary partition contains a valid
image. If the primary partition contains a valid image, then the primary boot line is set to A: and the secondary and default boot lines are set
to a Null String. If the secondary partition contains a valid image, then the primary boot line is set to B: and the secondary and default boot
lines are set to a Null String. If both the partitions contain invalid images, then primary, secondary, and default boot line values are set to a
Null string.
When you use the Network boot procedure to boot the device, the boot loader checks if the primary partition contains a valid image. If a
valid image exists on the primary partition and the secondary partition does not contain a valid image, then the primary boot line is set to A:
