Table 1. clear command
Function	What it does	Command	Valid targets
Restore default configuration of primary management module	Restores the default configuration of the primary management module; then, resets the management module. No results are returned from this command because it resets the management module. When you restore the management-module configuration, the Ethernet configuration method is set to a value of dthens. After the management module resets, this causes the management module to try dhcp configuration and then default to the static IP configuration, which might cause the management module to remain offline for longer than normal. See ifconfig command for information.	`clear -config` Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Restore default configuration of I/O module	Restores the configuration of the specified I/O module to the default settings.	`clear -config` Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:switch[x]` where x is the I/O-module bay number.

Example: To restore the primary management-module configuration to default settings, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type

                  clear -config

No results are returned from this command. After the management module resets, you will need to start a new command-line session.
