Deleting a next-startup configuration file
permanently deletes the next-startup configuration file from all member devices. Before
performing this task, back up the file as needed.
Delete the next-startup configuration file if one of the following events occurs:
After you upgrade system software, the file no longer matches the new system software.
The file is corrupt or not fully compatible with the device.
If both the main and backup next-startup configuration files are deleted, the device uses factory
defaults at the next startup.
To delete a file that is set as both main and backup next-startup configuration files, you must execute
both the reset saved-configuration backup command and the reset saved-configuration main
command. Using only one of the commands removes the specified file attribute instead of deleting
the file.
For example, if the reset saved-configuration backup command is executed, the backup
next-startup configuration file setting is set to NULL. However, the file is still used as the main file. To
delete the file, you must also execute the reset saved-configuration main command.
Perform the following task in user view:
Delete next-startup configuration
files.
reset saved-configuration
[
backup
|
main
]
If neither
backup
nor
main
is
specified, this command deletes
the main next-startup
configuration file.
