how to reset stacked switches to factory default

[Alex Wu]

Hello All,

I have 2 stacked Catalyst 2906s switches, how to reset them to factory default simultaneously?

thanks.

Use the command "wr erase" and check for the presence of "config.text" and "vlan.dat" files.  If the files are no longer present, reboot.

i used command "write erase" and also deleted ''vlan.dat",

but after "reload", the stack is still working...

[Leo Laohoo]

the stack is still working...

What do you mean "stack still working"?  Was the stacking cable removed or not?

[Alex Wu]

I didn't remove the stacking cable, but I powered off one switch (A), the powered on the other switch (B), after rebooting, I powered on the switch B, I found that stack is still working..

I found that stack is still working..  

Of course it's still working.  The stacking cable is still connecting both units.

[Alex Wu]

Got it.

Thank you very much.

does this mean that the switch is unstacked?
