PURGE IP
Syntax
purge ip [ipaddress] [netmask] [route]
Parameters
ipaddress
Returns the switch’s IP address to the default setting
of 0.0.0.0.
netmask
Returns the subnet mask to the default setting of
0.0.0.0.
route
Returns the gateway address to the default setting
of 0.0.0.0.
Description
This command returns the switch’s IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway address to the default settings. This command is similar in
function to the RESET IP command. Where they differ is that this
command allows you to specify which parameter to reset, while the
RESET IP command automatically resets all three parameters.
Examples
The following command returns the IP address and subnet mask to the
default values:
purge ip ipaddress netmask
The following command resets just the gateway address to its default
value:
purge ip ipaddress route
