Using the Menu and Web Browser

Interfaces To Implement Configuration

Changes

The menu and web browser interfaces offer these advantages:

Quick, easy menu or window access to a subset of switch configuration features (See the "Menu Features List" on page 2-14 and the web browser "General Features" list on page .)

Viewing several related configuration parameters in the same screen, with their default and current settings

Immediately changing both the running-config file and the startup-config file with a single command

 

Using the Menu Interface To Implement Configuration

 

Changes

 

You can use the menu interface to simultaneously save and implement a subset

 

of switch configuration changes without having to reboot the switch. That is,

 

when you save a configuration change in the menu interface, you simulta-

 

neously change both the running-config file and the startup-config file.

The only exception to this operation are two VLAN-related parameter changes

 

that require a reboot—described under "Rebooting To Activate Configuration

 

Changes" on page C-9.
