Apply Changes
Click Apply Changes to deliver newly imported signatures, signature edits, and
newly enabled or disabled signatures to the router. When the changes are applied,

the first time you click Apply Changes.
Note If you are attempting to import signatures, and these signatures are all identical to
deployed signatures, then the Apply Changes button is disabled.
