configDefault
Resets the non-persistent configuration data to factory defaults.
Synopsis configdefault [-fid FID | -all]
Description Use this command to reset the non-persistent configuration settings to their factory defaults.
Beginning with Fabric OS v6.2.0, 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 defaults 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 -fid option is not
valid.
This command resets non-persistent 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
• iSCSI 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.
