How to delete the config of a Nexus 5000 fabric 2000?

[Manu89]

Hello everybody,

I received some out of date "Nexus 5000 fabric 2000" today and want to delete the confi.

Unfortunately I can´t find any console-port so that I can not log in on the device.

Does anyone know how to hard reset this kind of device?

That would be awesome.

Thank you in advance,

best regards

Hello,

If you are referring to a Nexus 2000(FEX) you cannot run it as a standalone switch. It has to be attached to a parent device(5000,7000,9000)

HTH,

There is no configuration in FEX 2000, this is like line cards.

The configuration automatically load from any of the Nexus Parent device.

okay cool.

So it´s not possible for anyone who connects to the Nexus 2000 with a Parent Device to read out the previous config, is that right?

Yes correct.

Configuration for the FEX is stored on the parent device. FEX are just an extention of the parent device. Think about them like a linecard that you can stretch across serveral meters of fiber connections.

Thanks,
