The factory-default conguraon contains the basic conguraon sengs for the switch. This is the rst
conguraon of the switch and it is loaded when the switch is rst powered on. For the factory-default
conguraon le for your switch, see the hardware documentaon for your switch.
TIP: You can run the EZsetup script to complete the inial conguraon of the switch
aer
reverng to the factory-default conguraon. (The EZsetup script is available only on xed
conguraon switches, it is not available on modular switches.) For informaon on compleng
the inial conguraon using either the CLI or the J-Web interface, see
Connecng and
Conguring an EX Series Switch (CLI Procedure)
or
Connecng and Conguring an EX Series
Switch (J-Web Procedure)
.
You can revert to the factory-default conguraon by using the Menu buon to the right of the LCD
panel on switches with LCD panel or by using the request system zeroize operaonal command or the load
factory-default conguraon command. (If your switch model does not have an LCD panel, use these
commands.) You can also use the load factory-default command to revert to the factory-default
conguraon le that contains all default sengs
except
the root password seng, which is retained.
These procedures are described in the following secons:
Reverng to the EX Series Switch Factory-Default Conguraon Using the request
system zeroize Command
The request system zeroize command is a standard Junos OS operaonal mode command that removes all
conguraon informaon and resets all key values. The operaon unlinks all user-created data les,
including customized conguraon and log les, from their directories. The switch then reboots and
reverts to the factory-default conguraon.
To completely erase user-created data so that it is unrecoverable, use the request system zeroize media
command.
CAUTION: Before issuing request system zeroize, use the request system snapshot command
to back up the les currently used to run the switch to a secondary device. Using the
zeroize command will destroy Junos and OAM parons and the switch may not boot.

Installaon.
