(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the default gateway)
6From the User View, enter the save command to save the configuration to your Switch as the configuration is not saved automatically when the Switch is powered down.
The initial set up of your Switch is now complete and the Switch is ready for you to set up your chosen management method. See “Methods of Managing a Switch” on page 32.
If you do not intend to use the command line interface using the console port to manage the Switch, you can disconnect the serial cable and close the terminal emulator software.
