Clearing Configuration Information
You can clear the configuration information from the startup configuration. If you reboot the switch with
no startup configuration, the switch enters the setup program so that you can reconfigure the switch with
all new settings.
Clearing the Startup Configuration File
To clear the contents of your startup configuration, use the erase nvram: or the erase startup-config
privileged EXEC command.
Caution You cannot restore the startup configuration file after it has been deleted.
Step 4
ip rcmd remote-username username (Optional) Specify the remote username.
Step 5
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
copy system:running-config
rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]
or
copy nvram:startup-config
rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]
Using RCP, copy the configuration file from a switch running
or startup configuration file to a network server.
