On the test, I reset the configuration on the HP A5800 Series Switch JC103A.
And so, connect to the device and see what files are in the device’s memory:
dir
By default, the configuration is saved in the file config.cfg, let’s say that it is, so we’ll delete it:
delete config.cfg
We removed the configuration file, now we will reboot the device:
reboot
On the offer to keep the configuration we will refuse and on the next issue agree to the reboot:
This command will reboot the device. Current configuration will be lost, save current configuration? [Y/N]:n This command will reboot the device. Continue? [Y/N]:y
Done, the switch will start with the default configuration, after which you can begin to configure, for example, as I described in the article – Настройка HP 5800
You can also try to reset the configuration as follows:
reset saved-configuration reboot
Either through the Boot menu, to open it, when you turn on the device, press Ctrl+D and pressing the number 5, we select in the menu the reset of the configuration:
5. Restore to factory default configuration
Then, press 0 to select the reboot:
0. Reboot
When starting the switch, make sure that the configuration is reset:
display current-configuration display saved-configuration
