Introducing Cisco Data Center Networking (DCICN) — Question 13

Which two commands would you use to erase the Cisco Nexus Operation System configuration and return the switch to factory defaults? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. nexus# write erase boot
• B. nexus# erase configuration
• C. nexus# erase running-configuration
• D. nexus# erase startup-configuration
• E. nexus# reboot
• F. nexus# reload
• G. nexus# shutdown

Correct answer: A, F

Explanation

The correct commands to reset the Cisco Nexus switch to factory defaults are 'nexus# write erase boot' and 'nexus# reload'. The 'write erase boot' command clears the configuration, while 'reload' restarts the device to apply the factory settings. Other options do not effectively return the switch to factory defaults or are unrelated to the configuration reset process.
