How do I erase running config on PIX-515E with OS 7.1(1)

[superduperlopez]

Hi,
I am totally new to PIXes and need to erase/delete the running config from this Firewall with OS 7.1(1)

I thought that "clear configure all" would do the trick but the command does not even appear listed when I do a "?" on the command prompt....
capture Capture inbound and outbound packets on one or more
interfaces
cd Change current directory
clear Reset functions
client-update Execute client updates on all or specific tunnel-groups
clock Manage the system clock
configure Configure using various methods
copy Copy from one file to another
crashinfo Crash information

I also tried on configuration terminal but the command is not listed there either....
ca Certification authority
checkheaps Configure checkheap verification intervals
class-map Configure MPF Class Map
clear Clear
client-update Configure and change client update parameters
clock Configure time-of-day clock
command-alias Create command alias
configure Configure using various methods
console Serial console functions
crashinfo Enable/Disable writing crashinfo to flash
crypto Configure IPSec, ISAKMP, Certification authority


Any ideas how can I get around this????
Also, on a firewal, is ther a command that has the same function that "Control+Z" has on a Cisco router/switch???

Thank you

Hi,
I managed to erase the start up config and reload....with write erase......

but I would still be very grateful if someone could tell how to do a "Control+Z" in a PIX Firewall

Cheers

CTRL-Z does work on a Pix, however... Since all commands on PIX are executed in the Configuration mode, there is no need to implement CTRL-Z. Also, there is no sub-interface commands on the Pix, they are all executed under the (config)# prompt. You can even do a show run from config mode, so there really isn't a reason to be exiting out past config mode. Hope this helps.
