Factory reset will reset the device back to the EOS.swi image and configs that the device came with from the factory saved on a different partition. The device can be reset either through push-button or through the command line interface. Once the factory reset is requested, the device will reboot and will delete all files on the normal partition to be replaced with the swi image and config files that were saved in the recovery partition during manufacturing.

User-defined recovery policy is a type of reset that allows the customer to rollback a device to a previously saved state. A state can be saved by taking a snapshot of the configuration files that the customer wants to save.  Once a snapshot has been taken, the device can be reset either through push-button or through the command line interface. This feature provides a trivial way to get back to a tested and working version of EOS.swi with user-defined configs in case of failure.
