Cannot be configured to factory setting in VE

Hi configuration is set to factory config by command load /sys config default and save etc. But after booting up, management interface ip is still existing there. Did i miss some step?

    This is by design, see solution Restoring the BIG-IP configuration to factory default settings

    When you restore the BIG-IP configuration to factory default settings, the system performs the following tasks:
    
    Removes all BIG-IP local traffic configuration objects
    Removes all BIG-IP network configuration objects
    Removes all non-system maintenance user accounts
    Removes system maintenance user account passwords (root and admin)
    Removes BIG-IP module data and policies
    Resets the host name to the default value
    Resets the local trust domain
    Retains the management IP address
    Retains the BIG-IP license file
    Retains files in the /shared partition
    Retains manually-modified bigdb database variables
    Flags the Setup utility to run when the next user logs in to the Configuration utility
    
  • BTW, Two VE together are in same vlan, first one can be accessed via management interface 10.10.10.12, but second one with management interface 10.10.10.11 cannot be accessed even if it is configured to factory config. we are sure management interface are configured correctly. what is wrong with second one? Thank you
