Restore a vEdge Router
This article explains how to revert the configuration for a vEdge router to the factory-default values. It also
explains how to do a soft and hard reset of the router.
Reverting to the vEdge Router Factory-Default Configuration
After you set up and start the virtual machines (VMs) for the vEdge Cloud routers and set up and start the
hardware vEdge routers in your overlay network, they come up with a factory-default configuration . When
you make and commit changes to the default configuration, a new configuration file is created. This new
configuration file then becomes the active configuration.
If desired, you can revert to the default factory configuration:
vEdge#
request software reset
Reset the Router
You can reset the vEdge router by doing either a hard press or a soft press. To perform either type of press,
locate the Reset button on the front panel of the router. The Reset button is recessed to avoid accidentally
pressing it while the router is operational. To press the Reset button, use a sharp narrow tool.
Perform a Long Press Reset
A long press reset of the vEdge router erases passwords, keys, and most other configuration parameters,
restoring the router to its factory-default configuration.
To perform a long press reset, press the Reset button for more than 10 seconds. After you release the Reset
button, the router will reboot and resume normal operation.
Perform a Short Press Reset
A short press reset of the Edge router is equivalent to a graceful software reboot and is the same as entering
the
reboot
command at the CLI prompt.
To perform a short press reset, press the Reset button for two seconds. The short press reset takes effect almost
instantaneously and reboots the router.
