Forcing a Configuration Recovery

The Local Manager can restore the configuration of a Cisco router or switch that it cannot access because of an authentication or an improperly pushed configuration file. Configuration recovery can recover a password by restoring a previously stored password, along with that configuration.

The following conditions must be met before the Local Manager can force the configuration recovery:

• A valid device startup configuration must be stored on the Local Manager. One can be manually obtained using the pull config startup command.
• The device must be plugged into a power controller that is managed by and appropriately configured on the Local Manager.

The configuration recovery consists of replacing the startup-config on the device with a startup-config stored on the Local Manager.
