Secure Wipe Data Cisco Router Wiping Really Is A Good Idea

I had a router I needed to re-prep. It's faster to wipe and reload.

1. Log on to your router, and enter the privileged EXEC mode by entering enable and then entering the enable password command.
2. Enter configure terminal to go to Global Configuration Mode.
3. Enter config-register 0x2102.
4. Enter end, and then enter the write erase command to delete the current startup configuration on the router.
5. Enter reload to reload the router. When the system asks whether you want to save the configuration, enter no.
