Reset all configuration to default except bigip_base.conf

I dont recall there's one for 11.x. When you run

tmsh load sys config default

In order to have default bigip.conf, I'd try the below setups.

Pre-requisite, you should have a fresh bigip.conf file.

1. Have a ucs backup taken.

   tmsh save sys ucs /var/tmp/before_reset.ucs

2. Have a original bigip.conf backup taken.

   cp /config/bigip.conf /var/tmp/before-reset-bigip.conf

3. Have the fresh bigip.conf file moved to /config/bigip.conf

   cp /var/tmp/fresh-bigip.conf /config/bigip.conf

4. Load the config, in this way, your network settings are intact and you have a fresh bigip.conf

   tmsh load sys config

In the event there's no fresh bigip.conf file, I would just take UCS backup, reset it to default. Now I have fresh bigip.conf file. I would take a copy of this and load the original UCS again and put back this fresh bigip.conf file and load the config.

1. Have a ucs backup taken.

   tmsh save sys ucs /var/tmp/before_reset.ucs

2. Have a original bigip.conf backup taken.

   cp /config/bigip.conf /var/tmp/before-reset-bigip.conf

3. Reset to factory setting.

   tmsh load sys config default

4. Have the fresh bigip.conf file moved to /var/tmp/bigip.conf

   cp /config/bigip.conf /var/tmp/fresh-bigip.conf

5. Load the original UCS back again, in this way your network settings are again loaded.

   tmsh load sys ucs /var/tmp/before_reset.ucs

6. Now that you have fresh bigip.conf file in the temp folder, move it back and load the config.

   cp /var/tmp/fresh-bigip.conf /config/bigip.conf

7. Load the config.

   tmsh load sys config

Do wait for others to comment on their methods. If there's any easy approach, you can try that.

fairly sure you can just load bigip_base.conf and it will re-load the base file and not bigip.conf.

Hi jaikumar_f5 and MrPlastic, thank you for the suggestions!

Unfortunately, prior to resetting the config to default, we already had an error for

tmsh load sys config

tmsh load sys config default

F5 support suggested we run:

mv /config/bigip.conf /config/bigip.conf.old

tmsh load sys config

then proceed with loading bigip_base.conf.

Thank you for the help guys!
