The following procedure is NOT standard and is NOT to be used
to perform a factory reset. It should ONLY be used as a last
resort for a minimal recovery of the device when it is in an unde-
fined state, and if the instructions in section
Node device when it is initially powered off ”
on page 51 did not
provide a remedy.
Performing the following procedure will result in loss of all data,
including the shipping-config, software licenses, Wizards,
backup-configs, etc. The device will have to be manually set up
afterward.
