Deleting a next-startup configuration file


[CAUTION: ]

CAUTION:

This task permanently deletes a 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:

If both the main and backup next-startup configuration files are deleted, the device uses the 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:
