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?

[schumaku]

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, ...

[amaccabe]

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

[schumaku]

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.
