Before You Begin
Before you reset the switch to factory defaults, perform one of these tasks:
-
Back up your configuration on a TFTP server.
-
Copy your configuration to a text file.
-
Copy the configuration locally on the bootflash or slot0: device.
Once you clear the user configuration, there is no way to recover the configuration unless you restore the backed-up configuration.
1- Reset Catalyst Switches Running CatOS
Cat5k> (enable) clear config all
This command will clear all configuration in NVRAM.
This command will cause ifIndex to be reassigned on the next system startup.
Do you want to continue (y/n) [n]? y2002 Aug 03 15:16:19 %MLS-5-MCAST_STATUS:IP Multicast Multilayer Switching is disabled
System configuration cleared.
Use 'session' command to clear ATM or Router specific configurations.
Console> (enable)Cat5k> (enable) clear config 5
This command will clear module 5 configuration.
Do you want to continue (y/n) [n]? y
................................
Module 5 configuration cleared.
2- Reset Catalyst Switches Running Cisco IOS Software

Cat2950# reloadSystem configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: n
!--- Do not save the configuration at this prompt. Otherwise, the switch

Switch#
Cat2950# delete flash:vlan.dat
Delete filename [vlan.dat]!----- Press Enter.
The reason is that this vlan and VTP information is actually kept in the VLAN.DAT file
in Flash memory, and the contents of Flash are kept on a reload. The file has to be
deleted manually.
There's a little trick to deleting this file. The switch will prompt you twice to ask if you
really want to get rid of this file. Don't type "y" or "yes" just accept the defaults by
hitting the return key. If you type "y", the router attempts to delete a file named "y",
as shown here:
------!
Cat2950# delete vlan.dat
Delete filename [vlan.dat]? y
Delete flash:y? [confirm]
%Error deleting flash:y (No such file or directory)
Cat2950# delete vlan.dat
Delete filename [vlan.dat]?
Delete flash:vlan.dat? [confirm]
Cat2950# reload

So simple:
Cat2950(config)#no vlan 2-1000
Verify that VLANs (2-1000) are gone:
Cat2950(config)#do sh vlan br
