Command to erase configuration on AP Aironet

[eyanez111]

Usually in cisco the comand to erase configuration is

wr erase

I need to wipe an AP but by console session. That comand is not working what is the command that will erase the configuration?

write erase is for autonomous access point. Lightweight access points don't really have any configuration since the WLC pushed the config to the AP's. If you have an autonomous, when you issue a write erase, make sure you don't save prior to rebooting the device.

If you have static IP address, "wr erase" is not enough as the IP Address will still remain.

The command "wr default" will erase the config of an autonomous IOS including static IP address.

I wouldn't worry about that.  Cisco won't "glean" off your configs.

Hello all,

will the wr erase command will effect the IOS of the AP and the BVI static IP or will just erase the startup configuration?

and what erase nvram command does?
