problem deleting a config on a brocade 2800 switch

[Mark Harshman_1]

Hi everyone.

I am trying to delete a config on a brocade 2800 switch. I have tried everything i can think of, i have done configdefault, i have done cfgdelete...i have done many things, but when i reboot the config i am deleting is there again. I think it may be possessed. If you have any ideas, i would greatly appreciate it...thanks

Mark,
what is it that you want do 'delete'?

'configdefault' resets operational parameters.

'cfgdelete' removes a predefined zoning configuration.

If you want to remove all zoning information.
> cfgclear

If you want to remove on particular zoning configuration:
> cfgdelete "cfg_name"
> cfgsave

i have one defined configuration on this switch. I am trying to delete it becuase i am going to ISL this to an existing fabric. When i do cfgdelete, it goes away as a defined config. After i reboot the switch...it comes back..

Yes, of course. You must update the NVRAM with "cfgSave", too.

i got it. I had to do a cfgdisable of the current config, then do a cfgdelete, plus a cfgsave. then when i rebooted...it was all gone. thanks
