How can I revert back to the default config on Secure Access Server 5.3?

[menscersk]

We recently purchased new Secure Access Control Servers version 5.1 and have upgraded to version  5.3 with current patches.  Several people have configured one of the appliances and we would like to revert back to the original config with no NDGs or Devices or any other variables configured.  Is this possible?

I don't know a way you can revert back. On VM, I would take a snapshot and revert back that way, but if you have an appliance, the only way is to restore from a backup which you can also do on VM.

While looking up a command in the CLI reference, I also found the command to reset the acs to factory default.  It is "acs reset-config".  This resets the acs portion only, not the linux appliance, so your IP addresses, DNS, etc. are retained.  It does clear out the license for the ACS, so if you use this make sure you have the license file.  You will also have to go through the initial password setup again.

What is the difference between commands "acs reset-config" and "application reset-config"? CLI doesn't explain that.

Thanks!

Application reset-config ACS removes everything including the license.
