From the GUI:
If you need to reset (clear historical NVRAM settings) select factory reset option from drop down on firmware upload web gui page. or use the reset to default settings WEBIF.
Administration > Factory Defaults (select radio button, then apply settings)
or

From the Command Line Interpreter (CLI):
Telnet over to the device and pass the following command (without quotes): "nvram erase && reboot"
Reset notes: We all know to reset after initial flash. In early Feb. 2015 Kong announced a reset is required for certain upgrades as well, summary HERE. While not always necessary, resetting and re-configuring manually is also a best practice for upgrades. In Q1 2015 it was noted that users that reset from the CLI and MANUALLY RECONFIGURED after upgrading avoided issues (do NOT restore a NVRAMBAK from previous build it basically will undo your CLI reset).
