Cisco 4510R+E + Sup 7 - resetting to factory default.

eweralan · ‎09-19-2012

Hi

I have a couple of these chassis in a lab and am trying now to reset them prior to puttin them in production. The are sup-7-E's and running IOS-XE 3.3.0.SG code. I have dual Sup's in each chassis.

I am trying to get rid of the config and all the vlan's. Seems failry straightforward.....alas no.

I have done wr erase, redundancy reload shelf, but the VTP info and all the vlans remain.

Dir nvram: shows:

512 -rw- 0 <no date> startup-config

513 ---- 0 <no date> private-config

514 -rw- 0 <no date> underlying-config

1 ---- 0 <no date> rf_cold_starts

2 -rw- 1058 <no date> cpu_threshold_trap.eci

4 -rw- 1528 <no date> license_trap.eci

6 -rw- 886 <no date> memory_trap.eci

7 -rw- 858 <no date> rf_trap.eci

8 -rw- 108 <no date> ma_trap_keyword

9 ---- 367 <no date> persistent-data

10 -rw- 0 <no date> ifIndex-table.gz

11 -rw- 1110 <no date> CiscoManufac#DD9E.cer

13 -rw- 1245 <no date> CiscoRootCA2#3CA.cer

15 -rw- 839 <no date> CiscoRootCA2#ADFFCA.cer

There is no sign of a vlan.dat file anywhere (that i can find)

I have tried deleting the startup-config, running-config, and underlying-config but still cannot find where the rotten Vlans are stored.!!!

Anybody have any idea's ??

Hi,

Try looking for the vlan.dat in the flash: or const_nvram: filesystems. The show file systems command may also be helpful to provide you with the full list of file systems that your platform currently recognizes.

Best regards,

Peter

Hi,

vlan.dat is stored in nonvolatile memory named cat4000_flash, e.g.:

-------------- show cat4000_flash: all ------------------


# type length date/time name
-+----+------+---------+--------
1 bin    4608  vlan.dat

519672 bytes available (4608 bytes used)
