Do a full factory reset with sanitization

You can use the U.S. DoD 5220-22M 7-pass scheme to erase data from a sensor, and clear disk space.

About this task

This process erases ALL data inside the sensor in accordance with the guidelines suggested in the NIST Special Publication 800-88 rev 1. All data and configurations (e.g., network and console password settings) are permanently deleted. The installed N2OS version remains the same.
Important: This procedure will cause the system to lose all its data and configurations. The networking configuration will be reset to factory settings.

Procedure

  1. Open a shell console.
  2. Enter the command:
    n2os-fullfactoryreset -iknowwhatimdoing
    The system reboots with a factory setup.
  3. Do the basic configuration again.
