M4300 Series and M4300-96X Fully Managed Switches Override the Factory Default Configuration File NETGEAR managed switches support a single set of default configurations and scaling parameters, which are hard-coded in the factory default configuration file. To enable you to use a different set of default configurations and scaling parameters, you can override the factory default configuration file and specify that another file in the file system must be regarded as the factory defaults. After you issue the clear config privileged EXEC command, the switch uses the new factory defaults. CLI: Install Another Factory Defaults Configuration File 1. Create a new factory default configuration file. The file format must be the same as the format of the startup configuration file. 2. Disable STP and LLDP MED on all interfaces. If the switch is not configured for STP and LLDP MED, you can skip this step. (Netgear Switch) #configure (Netgear Switch) (Config)#no spanning-tree (Netgear Switch) (Config)#no lldp med all 3. Save the new factory default configuration file as a text file named factory_default.txt. 4. Download the factory_default.txt file to the switch.
