Note

■

The write command does not reset the device. For parameters that require a reset for their settings to take effect, use the reload now command instead, or use it after the write command.

■

The write factory command erases all current network configuration and thus, remote connectivity to the device (Telnet/SSH) may fail immediately after you run this command.

■

When the write factory command is run, Auxiliary files are also erased.
