Why each option

To restore a Cisco Nexus 1000v switch to its factory default settings, the engineer must clear the persistent configuration and then restart the device.

Awrite erase running-config

The command 'write erase running-config' is not a standard Cisco NX-OS command, and erasing the running configuration alone would not persist across reboots to achieve a factory reset.

Breboot

The 'reboot' command, synonymous with 'reload', only restarts the device and does not clear any configurations on its own.

Cwrite erase bootCorrect

The 'write erase boot' command, or typically 'write erase', deletes the saved startup configuration from persistent storage, preparing the switch to boot with default settings.

DreloadCorrect

The 'reload' command restarts the Cisco Nexus switch, forcing it to load the cleared or default configuration, effectively completing the factory reset process.

Ecopy running-config startup-config

The 'copy running-config startup-config' command saves the current operational configuration, preventing a factory reset rather than achieving one.
