How to delete configuration on TENDA switch
2023-06-27

As network devices continue to evolve, it is essential to keep them updated for better performance and security. Tenda switches are no exception. They come with configurations that allow users to manage their networks efficiently. However, there are times where old configurations may need to be deleted to make way for updated settings or to clear any issues with the network. This article will guide you on how to delete configurations on Tenda switch.

Before we dive into the deletion process, let us first define what configurations are. In networking terms, configurations are the settings that determine how a device functions. For instance, a switch configuration defines what ports that should be used to connect to a network, how bandwidth should be managed, access points, and security measures. If any changes are made on a switch, they only become effective once saved. These saved changes are what we refer to as configurations.

I. Solution 1:

Now let us look at how to delete configurations on Tenda switches.

Step 1: Connect to the Tenda Switch

Before you begin, you must establish connectivity with the Tenda switch. You can do this by connecting your computer directly to one of the switch's ports using an Ethernet cable. Ensure that the cable is correctly plugged into the switch port and the LAN port on your computer's network card.

Step 2: Access the Switch’s Web Interface

Once you are connected to the switch, launch a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the switch into the address bar. By default, the Tenda switch uses the IP address 192.168.0.1. Once you enter the IP address, press 'Enter' on your keyboard to initiate a connection to the switch’s web interface.

Step 3: Login to Tenda Switch’s Web Interface

After accessing the switch's web interface, you will be prompted to enter your login credentials. Enter the username and password for the switch into the fields provided. By default, the username and password are both 'admin.' If you have not changed the credentials, leave these fields blank and click the 'Login' button to proceed.

Step 4: Click the 'System' Tab

Upon a successful login, you will be redirected to the Tenda switch's web interface. The interface is divided into tabs, such as 'System,' 'Port Configuration,' 'VLAN,' 'Link Aggregation,' 'STP,' and so on. To delete the configuration, click on the 'System' tab.

Step 5: Access the Configuration Page

On the 'System' tab, scroll down until you see the 'Configuration' option and click on it. This will lead you to the Configuration page, where you will find options to back up, restore, or delete the configuration.

Step 6: Delete Old Configuration

On the Configuration page, you will see a 'Delete All Configuration' button. Click on it, and a warning message will pop up, asking you to confirm that you want to delete the configuration. Click on 'OK' to continue. The process may take a few seconds to complete, and once done, the Tenda switch will revert to default factory settings.

Note that deleting configurations clears the device's settings, including network settings, IP address, stations, VLANs, and more. If you are only updating a small part of the configuration, you should make backups and restore only the modified parts instead of performing a full wipe of the old configuration.

In conclusion, deleting configurations on Tenda switches is a simple process that requires web access to the switch. When deleting configurations, ensure that you backup critical settings and proceed with caution since any wrong move may result in network disruptions. Keep in mind that a full wipe of configurations deletes all settings, and you need to reconfigure the switch from scratch. We hope that this article has been helpful in guiding you on how to delete configurations on Tenda switches.

"How to Reset a Tenda Router to Factory Settings: Method 1- Access Tenda Router Settings for Reset (Recommended)

Connect your computer to the Tenda router and open the login address at 192.168.0.1. Login using the router administrator account password, and then click on 'System Tools' in the left panel as shown.

Click on 'Restore Factory Default' in the operations panel on the right. Confirm the reset and click 'OK'. This will restore the router to its factory settings as shown.

Method 2- Use the Reset Button to Restore Tenda Router to Factory Settings

If you forget the router administrator password and cannot access the router's back-end to reset it, you can use the 'Reset Key' as the ultimate solution.

Each router has a reset button designed on its body for easy reset in case of forgotten passwords. The Tenda router is no exception. Simply hold down the reset button on the Tenda router for about 8 seconds and the router will be restored to its factory settings, as shown.

To be specific, press and hold down the reset button labeled WPS/RST on the Tenda router when the router is powered on. After about 8 seconds, the SYS indicator light on the router will flash three times or turn off quickly, indicating that the router has been successfully reset.

Release the button, and the router will automatically restart. Please do not unplug the router during this process. Some routers prevent accidental tap of the reset button, so the reset button is usually located in a hole. Users need to use a ballpoint pen or a small wire to operate it."

As an engineer, it is important to understand how to reset a Tenda router to its factory settings using either the router settings or the reset button. Knowing this will help you troubleshoot issues with the router, especially when passwords have been forgotten. By following the steps outlined above and navigating through the router settings, you can easily reset the router to its original settings and start over with a clean slate. Similarly, in the case where you can't access the router back-end, the reset button is a sure-fire way of achieving the same goal. It is important to note that the reset button may be located in a hole, and special tools may be required to operate it.

Additionally, it is important to note that resetting a router to its factory settings deletes all of the configuration settings that have been applied to it, hence the need to back up important settings before resetting. Engineers should be aware that resetting a router is a drastic measure that should only be taken as a last resort when all other options have been exhausted.

It is also important to note that in some cases, the default login information may not work after resetting a router, so it is important to consult the manufacturer's documentation for the correct default login credentials.

In conclusion, as an engineer, it is essential to be familiar with the process of resetting a Tenda router to its factory settings in order to troubleshoot complicated problems.

The two methods discussed above provide different ways to achieve this task, giving engineers options to choose from depending on the situation at hand. Remember to back up important settings before resetting, and to always follow the manufacturer's instructions to avoid damaging the router.

"How to Reset (Restore Factory Settings) a Tenda Router?

1.Reset (or Restore Factory Settings) is a process that is typically used when you have forgotten your router's login password, need to reconfigure it, or when Tenda technical support advises you to reset the router.

2.Please note that resetting the router will erase all the configuration settings that you have applied to it. After the process is completed, you will need to set up the router again to use it for internet access. Therefore, please exercise caution when resetting the router.

3.After the reset, the login address and management password will be restored to the default values. You can find this information on the Tenda router's back panel sticker.

4.The reset process must be carried out while the router is powered up.

5.There are two types of reset buttons on a Tenda router: the RESET button and the RESET hole, as shown in the figure below.

The reset process is the same for both buttons: press and hold the RESET button on the router for 8 to 10 seconds (until the indicator lights turn on) and then release the button. This will reset the router to its factory settings. (For the RESET hole, a pointed object, such as a pen tip, is used to press and hold.)
