Before You Begin
Before you begin restoring your appliances to factory defaults, you should familiarize yourself with the
expected behavior of the system during the restore process.
Configuration and Event Backup Guidelines
Before you begin the restore process, Cisco recommends that you delete or move any backup files that
reside on your appliance, then back up current event and configuration data to an external location.
Restoring your appliance to factory defaults results in the loss of almost all configuration and event data
on the appliance. Although the restore utility can retain the appliance's license, network, console, and
Lights-Out Management (LOM) settings, you must perform all other setup tasks after the restore process
completes.
Traffic Flow During the Restore Process
To avoid disruptions in traffic flow on your network, Cisco recommends restoring your appliances during
a maintenance window or at a time when the interruption will have the least impact on your deployment.
