Ethernet MAC address, IP address, subnetmask, and boot ROM parameters
IP gateway address

FCSWA5:admin> cfgclear
The Clear All action will clear all Aliases, Zones, FA Zones
and configurations in the Defined configuration.
Run cfgSave to commit the transaction or cfgTransAbort to
cancel the transaction.
Do you really want to clear all configurations? (yes, y, no, n): [no] yes

FCSWA5:admin> cfgsave
WARNING!!!
The changes you are attempting to save will render the
Effective configuration and the Defined configuration
inconsistent. The inconsistency will result in different
Effective Zoning configurations for switches in the fabric if
a zone merge or HA failover happens. To avoid inconsistency
it is recommended to commit the configurations using the
'cfgenable' command.

Do you want to proceed with saving the Defined
zoning configuration only? (yes, y, no, n): [no] yes
"fcswk5" not found

FCSWA5:admin> switchdisable

FCSWA5:admin> configdefault
Executing configdefault...Please wait
Already in Native Mode continuing with configDefault
Committing configuration ... done.
The switch has to be rebooted to allow the changes to take effect.

I found another command sequence, the difference is a cfgdisable in the beginning, please try this too. Finally do y reboot.

Did you reboot the switch already?


switchdisable

cfgdisable (hit "y" at prompt)

cfgclear (hit "y" at prompt)

cfgsave (hit "y" at prompt)

configdefault

switchenable

reboot

[Caraganda]

Yes rebooted it.
I want to reset all settings. Name, IP and all the rest. I use the command "configdefault -all".

switchdisable

cfgdisable (hit "y" at prompt)

cfgclear (hit "y" at prompt)

cfgsave (hit "y" at prompt)

configdefault -all

switchenable

reboot

But after a reboot all settings remain, Name, username, password, IP.

Is it possible to do through Shell?

[Torsten.]

The fabric OS user guide says:

"In some cases, the configRemoveAll root command is required for reset. If that is the case,
contact your system administrator",

so try "configremoveall -all"

[Caraganda]

Tried, but he asks
configremove [options] [filename] , because he had not found "configremoveall -all" and "configremove -all" too.

I used configremove -local config,.txt

Then i used "configdefault -all" and reboot. But sittengs remain.

Did you do a "switchdisable" before?

It would be helpful to see the session log ... always.
