When you restore the BIG-IP configuration to factory default settings, the system performs the following tasks:
Retains:
- the management IP address
- BIG-IP license file
- files in the /shared partition
- manually-modified bigdb database variables
- Flags the Setup utility to run when the next user logs in to the Configuration utility
Removes:
- All BIG-IP local traffic configuration objects
- All BIG-IP network configuration objects
- All non-system maintenance user accounts
- System maintenance user account passwords (root and admin)
- BIG-IP module data and policies
- Current host name
- local trust domain
These are the steps:
- Go to TMS
- Load the default config
- Save the config
After execute the 3 steps the big-ip daemon will restart using the default config, and it is ready to go again.
This is a factory default for a 11.x and 12.x code to execute on 10.x use load sys default-config
root@(backend)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos)# load sys config default
