Hi There
I have to sanitise a large number of routers (ie, remove all configs,
logs.. everything), and
was wondering if there was a magic way of doing it remotely?
There is the tedious way of going through and deleteing /var/log, all
configs.. etc etc, but surely
there must be a better way?
The best way would be to re-install JUNOS from install media, but
that's not a very remote-friendly method because it requires hands to
insert the install media. Otherwise, I am not aware of any supported,
easy, or foolproof method.
The least cumbersome method I can think of is:
1) Connect via console and login to cli
2) start shell
3) su -
4) mount /altconfig
5) rm -rf /config/*
6) rm -rf /altconfig/*
7) umount /altconfig
8) exit
9) exit
10) request system partition hard-disk
11) request system reboot
The method above is totally unsupported. Use at your own risk. Do not
pass 'Go'. Do not collect $200, etc.
FWIW, J-series offers a slightly easier method of:
1) Connect via console and login to cli
2) request system snapshot factory media <alternate media>
3) request system reboot media <alternate media>
4) request system snapshot factory media compact-flash
5) request system reboot media compact-flash
