What is the result of executing 'reset all-except-ip'?

Executing the command 'reset all-except-ip' results in the erasure of the show configuration stored in flash memory, but it retains the IP and route settings. This means that all other configurations, such as firewall policies, VPN settings, and user accounts, will be reset to their default states, while the settings related to IP addresses and routes will remain intact. This functionality is particularly useful for scenarios where a device needs to be reverted to a cleaner or more manageable state without losing connectivity details essential for network operations.

The other options present outcomes that do not accurately reflect the result of the command. For example, restoring the device to factory settings goes beyond preserving IP configurations and would erase everything, while removing all data, including IP settings, contradicts the core function of the command, which is to keep IP settings intact. Lastly, clearing only administrative user accounts does not encapsulate the broader impact of this particular reset command, which affects the overall configuration while preserving specific network-related settings.
