Using the Configuration File to Restore Device Configurations
After a device is powered on, it initializes configurations by reading configuration information from the specified startup configuration file. If no configuration file is available in the storage directory, the device uses factory settings for initialization. You must restart the device to make the recovered device configurations take effect.
- Restore the configuration file through the FTP/TFTP server.
For details, see Transferring Files Using FTP/TFTP and download the default configuration file to the device.
- Run the startup saved-configuration command to specify the default configuration file for the next startup and restore default system configurations.
<AC> startup saved-configuration vrpcfg.cfg <AC> reboot fast
You can also run the reset factory-configuration command to restart the device and restore the factory settings.
