Certificate/Letter of Volatility for XSM4316S
Good morning, I'm looking for a Certificate/Letter of Volatility for the XSM4316S managed switch. Thank you in advance, Andrew Maccabe

Thank you!
A quick follow-up question: what is the "special software utility" the LOV mentions for the process to clear the non-volatile memory?

Dou you intend to destroy the switch completely? Erasing the flash will make it inoperational forever. It won't start, boot, load firmware, allow any configuration, ...

No. The presumption is that one could re-load the original boot image into flash from an external source.

No whatever utility require then. You can flash whatever firmware image into both partitions, and do a factory reset.
I don't think there is a user-process allowing to flash the low level code and the boot image into an all empty flash.
