When the CLI command restore-defaults factory-defaults is issued, does the ProxySG retain its configured IP address?

When the CLI command to restore factory defaults is executed on the ProxySG, the device reverts to its original settings as defined by the manufacturer. This process includes clearing custom configurations, which means that any previously configured IP addresses will be lost. The device will reset to the default IP address assigned to it, which is generally used for initial setup or access to the management interface.

The intention behind this command is to provide a clean slate for configuration, often for troubleshooting or redeployment scenarios. Therefore, after issuing this command, the ProxySG will not retain any user-configured IP address. The device will require reconfiguration to set up the network settings correctly to ensure connectivity within the intended environment.

In terms of the other choices, the options referring to specific modes of operation or conditions regarding the client IP do not apply when the factory defaults command is executed; the command universally resets the network configuration, irrespective of the operational mode.
