Revert to the Factory-Default Conguraon by Using the load factory-default
Command
The load factory-default command is a standard Junos OS conguraon command that replaces the
current acve conguraon with the factory-default conguraon (except the root password seng,
which by default is not set but which you must set in order to commit the new conguraon in this
procedure).
If you want to run the EZsetup script to complete the inial conguraon of the switch aer you revert
to the factory-default conguraon, do not use the load factory-default command. Instead, do the
reversion by using the request system zeroize command. If you use the load factory-default command to
revert to the factory-default conguraon, the conguraon for the root password is retained and the
EZsetup script will not run.
To revert to the factory-default conguraon by using the load factory-default command:
NOTE: If you use this procedure, you must delete the system commit factory sengs, set the
root password, and commit the conguraon. These steps are not required when you revert to
the factory-default conguraon by using request system zeroize. Also, the auto-image-upgrade
statement is not added to the conguraon when you use this procedure; it
is
added to the
conguraon when you use request system zeroize.
