Hi FortiSwitch admins

What is the difference between these two?

factoryresetfull   Fully reset to factory default now.

Hello @AEK ,

 

I think these warnings explain the difference.

Thanks @ozkanaltas 

So the first is about configuration only. I wonder if the second one resets the firmware version as well?

Hello @AEK ,

 

I think all firmware versions are saved. But just the bios resets to factory defaults.
