hi everyone.
i am trying to delete the vlan.dat on a 2950 switch:
S4#dir
Directory of flash:/
2 -rwx 3719152 Apr 09 2008 23:18:33 +00:00 c2950-i6k2l2q4-mz.121-22.EA10a.bin
3 -rwx 616 Mar 01 1993 00:00:17 +00:00 vlan.dat
4 -rwx 335 Apr 10 2008 00:48:52 +00:00 env_vars
5 -rwx 1716 Mar 01 1993 00:01:16 +00:00 config.text
6 -rwx 24 Mar 01 1993 00:01:16 +00:00 private-config.text
7741440 bytes total (4017152 bytes free)
S4#delete vlan.dat
Delete filename [vlan.dat]?
Delete flash:vlan.dat? [confirm]
S4#dir
Directory of flash:/

S4#
as you can see it is gone!
but after i reboot the switch:
S4#dir
Directory of flash:/
2 -rwx 3719152 Apr 09 2008 23:18:33 +00:00 c2950-i6k2l2q4-mz.121-22.EA10a.bin
3 -rwx 616 Mar 01 1993 00:00:17 +00:00 vlan.dat
4 -rwx 335 Apr 10 2008 00:48:52 +00:00 env_vars
5 -rwx 1716 Mar 01 1993 00:01:16 +00:00 config.text
6 -rwx 24 Mar 01 1993 00:01:16 +00:00 private-config.text
its back again...
switch is in transparent mode an the only device powered on in the lab - so no chance its learning it via vtp from somewhere...
am i missing something or am i just going crazy?
