I have a couple of 2900 series switches which we have inherited and need to set them back to factory settings so I can start from clean with them.
Is there an easy way of doing this?

Yes.
Depends ... if you have the passwords for the switches you may use write erase and reload
If not you will have to reset the switch at boot-time.
Search the cisco web site and you will find some tons of docs about that.

In all cases you need a console cable.
If they are 2950 or (2960 - these are the current model.) Not -XL at the end.
You need to - connect up console log in if necessary go to enable mode with the "enable" commmand "write erase" - this is the old command and there is a more descripitvely named one as well. but I dont know what it is. "reload" - or just switch off
Was there a 2900XL series? If it is one of these then the above may work or it may be different. I forget.
If there are passwords and you dont know them you will have to do password recovery first. Search the cisco web site for the words
"model-no" password recovery
This should turn up the correct document.
erase startup-config
also, delete flash:/vlan.dat to clear the vlan database.
This should work with most, if not all, of the IOS based switches.
yes. the same procedure should work.
