Rebooting the Switch
Rebooting To Activate Configuration Changes. Configuration changes for some parameters become effective as soon as you save them. However, you must reboot the switch in order to implement any changes to any parameters in the following areas:
■IPX Service
■Internet (IP) Service
■Serial Link
If configuration changes requiring a reboot have been made, the switch console displays an asterisk next to the configuration menu item in which the change has been made. For example, if you change and save parameter values for the switch’s IP configuration, the need for rebooting the switch would be indicated by an asterisk appearing in the following screen:
