Clearing an ASA Configuration

Clearing an ASA Configuration

Sometimes you might need to clear a portion of the running configuration on an ASA if a
function is no longer needed. On other occasions, you might need to clear the entire running
configuration so that an existing ASA can be redeployed in a different scenario. You
can use one of the following forms of the clear configure command in global configuration
mode to erase all or certain parts of the running configuration:


■ clear configure all: Clears the entire running configuration


■ clear configure primary: Clears all commands related to connectivity, including the
ip address, mtu, monitor-interface, boot, route, failover, tftp-server, and shun commands


■ clear configure secondary: Clears all commands not related to ASA connectivity


■ clear configure command: Clears all commands that use the command keyword
