HP ProCurve 2520 Menu: Implementing Configuration Changes, Using Save and Cancel in the Menu Interface

Switch Memory and Configuration

Using the Menu and Web Browser Interfaces To Implement Configuration Changes

	Menu: Implementing 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 simultane­
	ously change both the running-config file and the startup-config file.
N o t e	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 6-11.
	Using Save and Cancel in the Menu Interface
	For any configuration screen in the menu interface, the Save command:
	1. Implements the changes in the running-config file
	2. Saves your changes to the startup-config file
	If you decide not to save and implement the changes in the screen, select
	Cancel to discard them and continue switch operation with the current oper­
	ation. For example, suppose you have made the changes shown below in the
	System Information screen:

To save and implement the changes for all parameters in this screen, press the [Enter] key, then press [S] (for Save). To cancel all

changes,	press the
[Enter] key, then
press [C] (for Cancel)
		Figure 6-4. Example of Pending Configuration Changes You Can Save or Cancel
N o t e		If you reconfigure a parameter in the CLI and then go to the menu interface
		without executing a write memory command, those changes are stored only in

the running configuration (even if you execute a Save operation in the menu interface). If you then execute a switch boot command in the menu interface,
