MXL OS versions 9.5 and subsequent releases introduced a new CLI command which can be used to reset the switch to factory defaults mode. The command syntax is:
# restore factory-defaults stack-unit all clear-all
The command performs the following:
The command reloads the switch in a similar state to a brand new device.
Restore does not change the current OS images and partition from which the switch will boot up.
Restore does not delete any of the files stored in the SD (except startup-config)
The Restore command is especially useful to remove the stacking configuration from a switch.
Configuration example:
1) Use the Restore command to reload the switch to factory default, including removal of stacking configuration
console#restore factory-defaults stack-unit all clear-all
Proceed: yes
2) When prompted about BMP, select option A to abort BMP and use normal reload-type
To continue with the standard manual interactive mode, it is necessary to abort BMP.
Press A to abort BMP now.
Press C to continue with BMP.
Press L to toggle BMP syslog and console messages.
Press S to display the BMP status.
[A/C/L/S]: A
3) Check to make sure that after the reboot the reload-type will be normal-reload
console#show reload-type
Reload-Type : bmp [Next boot : normal-reload]
auto-save : disable
config-scr-download : enable
dhcp-timeout : disable
vendor-class-identifier :
retry-count : 0
4) Reload the switch to complete the procedure and set the switch to normal reload-type.
console#reload
