Switch Memory and Configuration

Using the Menu and Web Browser Interfaces To Implement Configuration Changes

If configuration changes requiring a reboot have been made, the switch displays an asterisk (*) next to the menu item in which the change has been made. For example, if you change and save parameter values for the Maximum VLANs to support parameter, an asterisk appears next to the VLAN Support entry in the VLAN Menu screen, and also next to the the Switch Configuration . . . entry in the Main menu, as shown in figure 4-6:

Asterisk indicates

aconfiguration change that requires a reboot

in order to take effect.

Reminder to reboot the switch to activate configuration changes.

Configuration Changes

 

You can use the web browser 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 most cases, by clicking on

 

[Apply Changes] or [Apply Settings], you simultaneously change both the running-

 

config file and the startup-config file.

 

 

N o t e

If you reconfigure a parameter in the CLI and then go to the browser interface

 

without executing a write memory command, those changes will be saved to

 

the startup-config file if you click on [Apply Changes] or [Apply Settings] in the web

 

browser interface.
