4. Plug in the Cisco switches in a stack.
5. Many boot-up and self-test messages will scroll on the console monitor. When the 

process is completed, use the following table to determine your next step: 

Restoring the factory default settings

To reset the switches in a switch stack to the factory defaults, you must delete the startup 
configuration and virtual local area network (VLAN) database files. Execute the following 
privileged command sequence to restore the Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series switch configuration 
to the original factory setting:
1. Delete the startup configuration and configuration files, as follows:

 

Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all configuration 

files! Continue? [confirm]y[OK] 

Erase of nvram: complete

00:06:43: %SYS-7-NV_BLOCK_INIT: Initalized the geometry of 

nvram.

2. Delete the VLAN database, as follows:
