Usage Guidelines

Once this command is issued, the switch's startup configuration reverts to factory defaults. The running

configuration is not affected. The write erase command erases the entire startup configuration with the

exception of any configuration that affects the loader functionality.

loader functionality configuration includes the boot variables and the mgmt0 IP configuration

information (IP address, netmask, and default gateway).
