What is the CLI command to perform a factory reset on the router?

• A. /system reboot
• B. /system reset-configuration
• C. /system factory
• D. /system reset

Answer: (B)

Factory reset means wiping the current configuration and loading the device’s defaults. In RouterOS, that is done with the reset-configuration command under system, i.e., /system reset-configuration. This command clears all settings, user accounts, and routes and then reboots so the device starts with the factory defaults. The other options don’t perform this full reset: reboot simply restarts the device without changing the configuration, and there isn’t a standard /system factory command. A general /system reset isn’t the specified factory-reset operation in this context. If you need to tweak behavior, you can add modifiers, but by default, this is the correct command for a clean factory reset.
