Resetting Switch Configuration Including VLAN Configuration Files

To reset a switch to factory default settings use the erase statup-config or write erase command. These commands will not clear config-register or boot system settings. Boot system parameters are modified by using the boot command.

1. Enter the write erase command from priveleged EXEC mode. If you don't have access to priveleged EXEC mode you must use the *Recover Cisco Catalyst 2960 Switch Password process first.
