Resetting the switch to default configuration
The restore factory-default command resets the switch to its
default configuration.
The syntax for the restore factory-default command is:
restore factory-default [ -y | force]
where the -y or force parameter instructs the switch not to prompt for
confirmation. If the -y or force parameter is not included in the command,
the following message appears:
Warning the switch will be reset to factory default
configuration
Do you wish to continue (y/n) ?
Enter y to restore the switch to default.
The restore factory-default command is executed in the Privileged
EXEC command mode.
Using DNS to ping and telnet
Using the Domain Name Server (DNS) client, you can ping or telnet to a
host server or to a host by name. To use this feature, you must configure
at least one DNS; you may also configure a default domain name. If you
configure a default domain name, that name is appended to hostnames that
do not contain a dot. The default domain name and addresses are saved
in NVRAM.
The hostnames for ping and telnet cannot be longer than 63 alphanumeric
characters, and the default DNS domain name cannot be longer than 255
characters. This section covers these commands:
•
"show ip dns command" (page 185)
•
"ping command" (page 183)
•
"ip name-server command" (page 186)
