Note: It is recommended that you purchase the optical transceivers and optical connectors for your vEdge
routers from Viptela.
Warning: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic
transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to a transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.

This article explains how to revert the configuration for a vEdge router to the factory-default values. It also
explains how to do a soft and hard reset of the router.
Reverting to the vEdge Router Factory-Default Configuration
After you set up and start the virtual machines (VMs) for the vEdge Cloud routers and set up and start the
hardware vEdge routers in your overlay network, they come up with a factory-default configuration . When
you make and commit changes to the default configuration, a new configuration file is created. This new
configuration file then becomes the active configuration.
If desired, you can revert to the default factory configuration:
vEdge# request software reset
Reset the Router
You can reset the vEdge router by doing either a hard press or a soft press. To perform either type of press,
locate the Reset button on the front panel of the router. The Reset button is recessed to avoid accidentally
pressing it while the router is operational. To press the Reset button, use a sharp narrow tool.
Using your fingers, grasp the body of the transceiver and pull it out of the router completely.
Place a rubber safety cap over the transceiver.
Place the removed transceiver on the antistatic mat or in an electrostatic bag.
If you are not installing a new transceiver, place the transceiver slot dust cover over the empty port.
